Chateau Brisson 2020
This Bordeaux gem comes from a family estate founded in 1878, now in the hands of Paul and Lorette Valade, along with their son, Cédric. The Valade family’s dedication is evident in every bottle—meticulous vineyard work, generations of expertise, and a commitment to quality that shines through in every sip.

Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Brisson skips out of the glass with exuberant notes of crushed red and black plums, boysenberries and Morello cherries, plus hints of sassafras, eucalyptus and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers lovely harmony and fruit freshness, featuring soft tannins and a spicy kick on the finish.

A firm, racy red with blackberry, black olive and some smoky oak. It’s medium-bodied. A little austere and slightly hollow, but still attractive.
