The Chateau La Douys 1970 is a magnificent Bordeaux wine that exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Its deep ruby red color alludes to the richness and complexity that awaits on the palate. On the nose, this wine offers a bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of tobacco. As it opens up, notes of dried herbs and cedar emerge, adding a subtle earthiness to the aroma. On the palate, the Chateau La Douys 1970 is a full-bodied wine with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of blackberry, plum, and blackcurrant are complemented by a touch of spice and a lingering oak finish. This vintage, produced by the renowned Chateau Lillian Ladouys, showcases the true potential of Bordeaux wines from 1970. A true delight for the senses, this wine is a testament to the art of winemaking in France.

While the estate known as Chateau Haut-Bailly dates back to 1461, its wine production began in 1530, falling into the hands of the de Leuvarde and Le Bailly families in 1630. It was purchased in 1998 by Robert G Wilmers, a Harvard-educated banker, and his French wife Elisabeth and under their care, the estate has begun producing some of the best wines in its history. The cellars and production procedures were renovated and modernised and this year, the Chateau itself was awarded government recognition of its cultural and vinious heritage.

It would be difficult to find a more classically Médoc wine than this great Cantemerle, with its sustained power and refined elegance. A very deep color and subtle aromas underscore its youth. Once in the mouth, this rich and full-bodied wine releases notes of coffee, olives and licorice which are emphasized by an opulent and harmonious length. A fine wine which marries fullness and delicacy, while avoiding heaviness and excessive oak.
