The 2020 Château Le Doyenne is rock-solid, with a charming, balanced, undeniably delicious profile carrying lots of red and black fruits, spice, and underbrush-like nuances. With ripe, soft tannins and good purity of fruit, it’s well worth seeking out and should have 8-10 years.

“Deep purple color. Aromas of red fruits that includes raspberries. There’s a sllight mocha in the smooth mouthfeel with silky tannins and lovely dark licorice on the finish. A bit young yet to drink.”

The 2020 Le Doyenné is deep purple-black in color, burshing from the glass with expressive scents of juicy black plums, mulberries and cherry preserves plus suggestions of powdered cinnamon and red roses. The medium to full-bodied with palate is jam-packed with vibrant black fruits supported by plush tannins and well-balanced acidity finishing long and vibrant.

“Purplish violet-ish color. Fresh bouquet, of good intensity, with notes of peppermint and raspberries. On the palate, the wine is delicious and lively, the tannins are creamy while the structure is crunchy and refreshing. Fruity and persistent finish. An inviting wine that can already be enjoyed in its youth.”
