CHÂTEAU LOIRAC - Médoc Cru Bourgeois Bordeaux 2019
- Description
"The blueberry and orange-peel aromas are all here. Medium body, fresh acidity and an attractive aftertaste. A little lean, but should soften by 2021. A blend of 60 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon and 40 per cent Merlot."
91 Pts - James Suckling
Vinous - Antonio Galloni
This vintage is of a beautiful presence, both in its rather sustained red colour, as in its aromatic expression of red fruits with cassis and blackberry and undergrowth with nuances of caramel and spices.

CHÂTEAU LOIRAC is a wine estate in the Médoc, a registered designation of origin, in the commune of Jau Dignac and Loirac. The first parcels of vines were planted in 1987 and the vineyard is located on two gravelly hills (sandy gravel and thin soils), 6 km west of the Estuary, and 15 km from the Atlantic Ocean.
The seahorse on its crest is a reminder of the waters' proximity.
The proximity of the Gironde and the sea provides a unique climatic clemency: the incidence of tides, combined with windy periods and the action of the sun, favour the establishment of the vineyard. 15 hectares are planted in production, to which are added 2 hectares in planting, for a total area of 23 hectares.
The elaboration of the wines of CHÂTEAU LOIRAC stems from parsimonious choices: low vigour rootstocks, strict pruning "in double Guyot", search for harmony between the grape varieties. With a grape variety composed of 35% Merlot Noir, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot, the vineyard produces each year about 80,000 bottles

Established in 2009, SIMPLY WINES has been searching the world over for hard to find wines.
Being Victorian, we do have a soft spot for regions like the Yarra Valley, Beechworth, Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong. We still love classic South Australian Shiraz from the Clare Valley, Barossa, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra, and who can pass up some of the most prestigious wines in Australia from Margaret River in Western Australia.
Not forgetting Tasmania with the superb Pinot Noir and Riesling. Let's also mention the Hunter Valley and Canberra wine regions.
