Château Dufilhot, a small winegrower located near Langon, is raising the profile of a little-known Bordeaux appellation full of potential. Generous and well-made, this 2006 is aged for 15 months in wood, with 30% new barrels, and undeniably represents the AOC's top-of-the-range and one of its best value-for-money wines. Enjoy it now, or cellar it for two or three years: it's sure to be a pleasure!
