2020
The 2020 Chateau Blancard begins with aromas of cherries and plums, tobacco, gravel and hints of toast that all come together beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, with a fine, silky texture underlined by dark cherries, tobacco and mineral notes, which linger on the finish. This is accessible now and should go on to offer a drinking window that spans a few more years.
