Chateau Goubau 2014 Cotes de Castillon

A new project for Pomerol maestro Jacques Thienpont, Chateau Goubau, like Chateau d'Aighuile, shows that the sleepy Cotes de Castillon are capable of turning out seriously good wines to please lovers of right bank claret and at exceptionally fair prices. Dark fruit, cigar box and sleek oak make for a caressing, self assured, generous wine for pleasure.
