Château Desmirail 2021

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Gilbert & Gaillard

« Deep garnet-red colour. Delicate nose combining ripe fruity aromas with an elegant woody smokiness. On the palate, a lovely texture, polished tannins and an aromatic expression still in the making. A vintage emerging from its youth. For cellaring. »

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Offering up aromas of minty berries, cherries and marmalade, the 2021 Desmirail is medium-bodied, soft and giving, with supple tannins and an open-knit, slightly diffuse palate.

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2021 Château Desmirail checks in as 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It's a quintessential Margaux with its complexity and elegance. Red and black fruits, flowers, violets, spices, and loamy earth are just some of its nuances, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a layered, seamless mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's a hidden little gem in Margaux that readers will love to drink over the coming decade or more.

James Suckling

Juicy plums, red cherries, currants and some tea leaves on the nose. It is fluid and elegant with spiced berries on the supple, medium-bodied palate, yet it still has firm tannin integrity with a juicy, tight finish. Drink or hold.
