About this Item

2009, 2010 Saint-Estèphe
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Capbern had been in the Gasqueton family for ten generations, and until 2013, was known as Capbern Gasqueton. Sitting on the eastern edge of the village of Saint-Estèphe, under the same ownership as Calon-Segur, with the same top winemaking team, and well-placed vineyards which take advantage of the gravel and clay-rich soils of the northern Médoc, Capbern is one of the last few hidden stars of Bordeaux.

Critics Ratings

'Crimson is beginning to lighten a little at the edges. Terroir fresh and very Cabernet on the nose with tannins in retreat. Clearly good classy stuff that's drinking well now. I tasted it cellar-cool and the tannins were not obtrusive at all. Nice fruity length. This really reverberates on the finish and was a great buy en primeur!' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Dec 2016)

'A blend 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot raised in 50% new oak and 50% one-year old barrels. The Capbern-Gasqueton 2009 has a very precise bouquet with ample red fruits: wild strawberry and raspberry with subtle earth and liquorice notes underneath and beginning to rise to the surface with each swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with good fruit concentration, slightly chalky tannins at this stage, good tension and mineralite coming through towards the finish with blacker fruits, one again with a hint of liquorice. Nice length and persistency. Great value + great wine equals happy customer.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Jan 2012)
