2016 Château La Guérinières, Saint-Emilion

…Haynes Hanson & Clark have long worked harder than most at sniffing out the bordeaux bargains. I was impressed by all four of their recent finds that I tasted, … but best value, I think, was Ch La Guérinière from the superb 2016 vintage. The Rambaud family’s Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines are grown in the far south-east of the St-Émilion appellation, obviously with great care, as this ripe, rich, velvety wine with a fresh top note tastes not unlike a lesser Pomerol.
