As wonderful as our 2022 Chateau Barraillots Margaux is at only $35, the State’s best price by $10, this brilliant Cru Artisan just inland from Pauillac may be an even better buy at only $24.99.
As the importer (on the back label) says:
The 8 hectares of Chateau D’Osmond are adjacent to the plots of some of the greatest Pauillac and Saint-Estephe Chateaux. It showcases a purple color, blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. Elegant tannins and a long finish.
And a Gold medal and top review from the French Ella a Table:
A beautiful, brilliant garnet hue with good concentration. Lovely nose of stewed and roasted dark fruits set against a backdrop of fresh forest floor and mushroom. A hint of coffee in the background! The palate is clean, precise, and fresher than expected, featuring lovely, harmonious, softened tannins alongside notes of roasted coffee and myrtle. A flavorful, spicy finish of good length.
This both outscores and outclasses a lot of famous Pauillacs at many times its price.
