2020 Chateau Franc Maillet Pomerol

Château Franc Maillet 2020 stands as one of the most sought-after wines from the renowned Pomerol region. 

Tasting note: Well-regarded as a classic, plush, and fruity red with notes of dark berries, chocolate, spice, and earthy nuances. Juicy, medium-bodied, plush, and velvety with ripe fruit, balanced acidity, and a long, flavorful finish with notes of minerality or coffee.eamless, integrated tannins that support the fruit, with a good backbone of oak to match the fruit.

We recommend decanting for an average of 1-2 hours (or up to two hours for full expression) is recommended to allow the wine to soften and open its aromas and fruit.

Wine Press: James Suckling: Awarded 94 points. Described a perfumed nose of sandalwood, lavender, blackcurrants, cassis, star anise, and black olives. Noted it is full-bodied, velvety, and creamy, with bright acidity complementing the ripe layers of black and blue fruit and seamless tannins. Recommended trying after 2025.
