Natalie's Review

Château le Puy Émilien 2020, Côtes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux A.C., France: From Côtes De Bordeaux, Bordeaux wine region, Château Le Puy Émilien 2020 is a dry, full-bodied, complex and concentrated red wine blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc aged two years in foudres and Bordeaux barriques. Savoury on the palate with dark cherry, black currant, cedar brush spice and earthy fresh mushroom aromas and flavours on the palate and totally made for a roast leg of lamb. The estate is situated on the same plateau as Saint Emilion and Pomerol and sits on the second highest point in the Gironde at 110 metres above sea level and the average vine age is about 50 years old.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
