Description
This isn't all that expensive by Bordeaux standards, but at this price it counts as a treat wine and I really like it. It's gravelly, grainy and detailed with lovely blackcurrant fruit showing good structure
Jamie Goode, Affordable Bordeaux Wine, Sunday Express (November 2024)
Moulis-en-Médoc is home to several charming family-owned properties, Château Anthonic among them. Owners Jean-Baptiste and Nathalie Cordonnier are proponents of agroforestry, planting trees among their vines to encourage biodiversity. The 2020 vintage is their second with organic certification. This Merlot-dominant wine offers aromas of fresh plums, blackberries and dark chocolate, along with a nice spicy edge. It is medium-bodied and refreshing, though there is a good tannic structure; it should develop nicely in the coming years. Enjoy it with a juicy burger or barbecued dishes.

Critics reviews
An impressive Moulis, the 2020 Château Anthonic offers bright, clean red and blue fruits as well as notes of cedar, spice, and loamy earth. Medium-bodied on the palate, it’s all about charm and texture, even if there’s a chewiness in the tannins. It should drink nicely for 7-8 years.
Deep and ripe cocoa-dusted dark fruit aromas with hints of dried orange peel and walnut. Vivid and juicy with a medium body and ripe, sleek tannins. Delicious and easy to drink. Flavourful finish. From organically grown grapes.
Drink or hold
Juicy and lively, sleek and silky tannins make way for juicy, softly sweet red berry and cherry fruit with a subtle creaminess which nicely offsets the high acidity giving roundness and expansiveness in the mouth. Bright, pure and clear with enjoyable fragrance on the palate and such lovely energy. Nicely chewy and bouncy but lean at the same time, the balance of texture, density and freshness really works and this is a great glass of wine. Youthful but this is great to open and enjoy today and carries to such a succulent, moreish finish still with liquorice, cola, wet stones and graphite touches bringing you back to the terroir.
