DOMAINE RATRON CUVÉE PRESTIGE CLOS DES CORDELIERS SAUMUR CHAMPIGNY 2019 AOP, Loire, France Cabernet Franc from the Loire is always a delight. The cool climate encourages lithe, taut wines with good structure and concentration while imparting a noted purity to the fruit. The fruit in this one is still youthful and ripe. 92 points (Decanter World Wine Awards) Medium-bodied & Fruity 47690 (XD) 750 ml $31.95 2 New at Vintages CHÂTEAU MONPLAISIR FÛT DE CHÊNE BERGERAC 2019 AOP, Southwest, France This wine has plenty of oak influence, leather, toffee, cedar, et al., but it’s the ripe blue-and blackberry-led fruit that makes the biggest impression. A red wine to conjure the sunny skies of the Southwest of France. 91 points (Decanter World Wine Awards) Full-bodied & Smooth 49326 (XD) 750 ml $17.95 2 New at Vintages
