2016 vintage. Better and more concentrated than the 2015, but still has some rustic edges. Good value, if not very refined. — 2 days ago

2022 vintage. Uncomplicated, smooth and juicy. A pleasure to drink for such a low price. From the owners of Château de Céron. — 10 days ago

2022 vintage. Medium-bodied, already some evolution to the colour. A little smokiness on the nose. This is ready to drink already, with juicy red fruit and soft tannin. Nice smokey length. Another terrific Bordeaux value. — 13 days ago

2022 vintage. Another winner from the own estates from the Castel family, and the best I have tasted from this estate. Juicy red fruit,with fresh acidity and soft tannin. Lots of uncomplicated pleasure for very little money. Abv. 14,5%. — 2 days ago

8.6

2019 vintage. Not very attractive on first impact, decanting recommended. Better after a few hours, and especially the next day. Not bad, but there is a vegetal, unripe touch to it. — 10 days ago

This is Château Hauchecorne,named after a previous owner. When Philippe Ferrier bought Château Duplessis from Marie-Laure Lurton (who wanted to concentrate on the excellent Villegeorge and La Tour de Bessan) in 2015, he decided to vinify these vineyards (Garbejac and Morère) separately. Therefore, Hauchecorne is not to be confounded with the second wine of Duplessis, named "Esprit de Duplessis". Merlot and Cabernet Franc according to the back label. Solid dark red colour. Juicy red fruits,with a nice tannic bite. Can be enjoyed young with food, but I expect this to age well up to a decade. Another great Bordeaux value. Abv 14%. — 6 days ago

2019 vintage. 100% Merlot. One of the Castel family estates. While I have a slight preference for the Château Goëlane 2020 ( Bordeaux Supérieur) from the same owners, this is very good value for money too. A nice every day Bordeaux that doesn't break the bank. Abv. 14%. — 11 days ago
