Château Jouclary, Cabardès Cuvée Guilhaume 2022 Valpolicella 92/100 Yohan CastaingChateau Jouclarys top wine, aged in new oak barrels, is decadently rich and sumptuous, with a dense palate of baked black fruit, earthy minerals, soft, ripe tannins and a dry finish, redolent of prunes and chocolate. If this wine came from Bordeaux or the Rhne it would be at least 10 more expensive. Enjoy it with game pie, rib eye steak and other fine meats.
