Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

From an estate nest to Sociando Mallet, north of Saint-Estephe, the 2017 Chateau Charmail is brilliant stuff and certainly an outstanding wine. Showing a medium-bodied, elegant profile as well as perfumed cassis fruits and hints of earth, it’s not a blockbuster, but it has an outstanding mid-palate, terrific balance, and a great, seamless finish. A blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged 12 months in one-third new French oak, it’s well worth a multi-bottle purchase and will drink well for 10-15 years.
