A trip to Bordeaux for two: 2 archival red Médoc wines (2017 and 2020)

How will a wine change over the course of several years? You’ll soon find out. We’ll acquaint you with 2 excellent vintages of dry red Médoc wine, which will take you on a taste tour of Bordeaux.

Set out with us to the Médoc region, where full-bodied and elegant wines are created at the Château Saint-Hilaire winery. The 2017 and 2020 vintages are just these kinds. Harmonious, with a strong aroma and notes of red fruit.

The Médoc from Château Saint-Hilaire is superb for archiving. This is why we selected two vintages where you can observe the wine’s maturation yourself. They were created several years apart just to delight your taste buds.

Which one will you enjoy first?

What can you expect in this wine gift set?

Château Saint Hilaire Médoc 2017 Cru Bourgeois: Archival dry red wine

If we were going to create a perfect dry red wine, we’d do it like this:

We’d hand-pick grapes of the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties in sunny Bordeaux. We’d let them macerate for 3 weeks, and then mature for 12 months in barrique casks. Finally, we would blend the two varieties together to create a ruby-red dry wine.

This is exactly how the rich and elegant Médoc 2017 was created. It smells of plums, black fruit, and currants. It will enchant you with its full taste and tannins that remain for a long time in your mouth.

This archival red wine earned a gold medal at the largest French competition, the Challenge International du Vin.

Château Saint Hilaire Médoc 2020 Cru Bourgeois Supérieur: Archival dry red wine

The archival red Médoc 2020 was made by combining 56 % Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with 44 % Merlot.
