Domaine de l'A, Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2019	94 Vinous Stéphane and Christine Derenoncourt’s 2019 Domaine de l’A is a real standout. A touch more Franc than in the past helps convey an added kick of brightness and energy that works so well in balancing the wine’s natural richness. The 2019 is classy and elegant, with tremendous purity of fruit. The 2019 is terrific, but it also is going to need a few years in bottle to be at its best.	Bottle Image Label Image
Domaine de l'A, Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2022	93-95 Jeb Dunnuck With an undeniable sense of minerality, ripe velvet tannins, and an excellent finish, it’s a no-brainer purchase. It will round into form within just a few years of bottle age and have two decades or more of overall longevity. 92-94 Vinous The 2022 Domaine de l’A is a gorgeous, pedigreed wine. Dark and sumptuous in the glass, with tons of supporting structure, the 2022 packs a serious punch. Black cherry plum, spice, leather, liquorice and chocolate are all dialled up. 92-93 James Suckling Black fruit with lots of grape-skin character. Natural tannin character here. Medium body. Lemon peel and spices.	Bottle Image Label Image Tech Sheet
