Why shop with us?
Château Julia Haut-Médoc 2020 is a classic Bordeaux red blend built around Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. With the structure associated with the Médoc and the ripe character of the 2020 vintage, it offers an appealing balance of dark fruit, gentle spice and firm tannins.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine is expected to show a deep ruby to garnet colour. The nose typically reveals blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, supported by notes of cedar, subtle spice and earthy Médoc character.
On the palate, Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and freshness, while Merlot contributes roundness and supple fruit. The finish is likely to be dry, savoury and moderately tannic. It can be enjoyed now with a little aeration, while further development in bottle over the next few years should allow the fruit and oak-derived nuances to integrate further.
Production
The Haut-Médoc is known for gravelly soils that provide good drainage and retain warmth, creating favourable conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot reflects the traditional approach of Bordeaux, combining structure and longevity with softer, fruit-driven qualities. Specific details regarding harvesting, barrel use and vinification for Château Julia have not been provided.
Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. This Bordeaux is well suited to roast beef, grilled or braised lamb, duck, beef stew and mature hard cheeses. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended when serving the wine young, particularly alongside a substantial meal.
