Château Plantey, Pauillac cru bourgeois 2021 Montsant blackberries and licoriceViolet and red fruit aromas and a hint of spice introduce a rounded, supple Pauillac. The Meffre family manage the thirty or so hectares of cru bourgeois vines sustainably. This polished wood aged wine with its Cabernet Sauvignon to the fore is full and concentrated. Succulent black fruits and a layer of firm tannins promise plenty of aging. 92 100 Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast April 2024
