This four-bottle set explores the bold influence of oak in shaping structure, spice, and aging potential in top reds from Bordeaux and the Southern Rhône. From the graphite, cigar box, and polished tannins of 2019 Château Pichon Baron and 2018 Château Giscours—both aged in high percentages of new French oak—to the warm, smoky richness of Domaine de la Janasse’s 2020 Vieilles Vignes and 2021 Cuvée Chaupin, where Rhône foudres and barriques impart sweet spice and savory depth. This collection shows oak not just as a vessel, but as a voice—adding texture, power, and lasting presence.
Built for longevity, 2019 Château Pichon Baron exemplifies Pauillac. Intense cassis, graphite, tobacco leaf, and violet notes weave through the complex bouquet. The palate combines powerful structure with elegant refinement.
The 2018 Château Giscours is vibrant and complex, revealing aromas of red and black berries, violet, and graphite. Silky tannins and fresh acidity frame the ripe fruit and spice-laden palate, making it approachable now yet suitable for long-term cellaring. A beautifully crafted Margaux from a highly praised vintage.
Concentrated and powerful, the 2020 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes showcases bold aromas of blackberries, licorice, and Provençal herbs, layered with notes of garrigue and spice. The full-bodied palate is rich and textured, with velvety tannins and a long, complex finish. This is a quintessential Châteauneuf-du-Pape from an exceptional vintage that balances power and finesse.
Blackberry, red cherry, and wild herb aromas shine in the 2021 Domaine de la Janasse Cuvée Chaupin, with licorice and smoky spice providing complexity. Fine tannins and bright acidity frame its medium-bodied palate, which finishes with elegance and length. A precise and fresh Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
