The few times that I have tasted this producer, I found their wines “simple”. This was not, and I’d be happy to retaste this wines in 5 years time. Very young still. — 8 years ago

Closed and young at the moment needs to mellow out. Plenty of dark cherry notes and some forest floor. Well done alas burgundy gets expensive: — 9 years ago

Something very clean and elemental about this wine, and something Bordelaise as well, given the depth, lack of California over-ripeness and relative inaccessibility in youth. Not an "easy" wine, but neither is young Lynch Bages. — 9 years ago

Nice acid, pear and cherry on the nose and it tastes like baking spices and a bit of crabapple. 👍🏻 — 9 years ago

Welcome to Easter weekend and lets start the weekend off right with a wonderful Bordeaux Blend from Andrew Will, the 2011 Champoux Vinyard continues to impress. This is a right bank blend of 54% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The nose is beautifully expressive with notes of blackberry, black cherry, black currants, tobacco, licorice, chocolate, herbal notes, spice, violets and fresh tilled soil.

On the palate there is well balanced notes of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, green bell pepper that I love oh so much, chocolate, graphite shavings, and floral notes.

This is a full bodied wine with medium + acidity and firm outstanding gripping tannins. This wine does not disappoint.

Everyone have a great Easter weekend and please take thing easy, be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 9 years ago
