Closerie du Pelan Rouge (2010) – A mature Bordeaux blend showing the quiet elegance that comes with time. From Clos de la Closerie du Pelan, the 2010 vintage has softened into layers of dried blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco leaf, and earthy spice, with resolved tannins and a supple, medium-bodied frame. There’s still enough freshness to keep the wine balanced, but the emphasis here is on secondary and tertiary character rather than fruit. Thoughtful and understated, this is a compelling option for drinkers seeking classic Bordeaux maturity without the weight or price of classified growths.
