Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

From the Vignobles Carreau, located in the charming region of Blaye Cote de Bordeaux, Chateau le Cap 2016 shows a nice bouquet of blueberry, black currant, bay leaf, violet, cocoa, baking spice and cedar. Full-bodied with a touch of acidity, the finish offers a dry and balanced journey. Palate: currant, blackberry, bell pepper, leather, incense and sandalwood. Enjoy.
Château Le Cap 2016 is a well-priced red Bordeaux blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Côtes De Bordeaux - Blaye wine region. Produced by Nicolas and Sébastien Carreau, this is a medium-plus-bodied, juicy red with loads of blackberry and oak spice flavours on the palate. Tannins are firm. Nice now but better in 2022. A great cellaring candidate. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
