Chateau Charmail 2019 Haut Medoc
weiteres von

This has a perfumed nose of wild strawberries, currants, lavender, chocolate orange and praline. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Pretty and polished with a fresh finish. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Charmail has an understated bouquet that unfolds with aeration, revealing pretty red berry fruit, rose petal and crushed stone. I admire the focus here. The palate is rounded, sweet and nicely poised, with nice grip. A little oak toward the finish suggests this will age with style. Very fine.

The 2019 Charmail. a recently elected Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel. has a fragrant raspberry and wild strawberry bouquet with traces of damp moss/sous-bois. It is very well defined and "natural". The palate is fresh on the entry with breezy red berry fruit. well judged acidity. not powerful but bright and vivacious. Classic Haut-Médoc. probably quite approachable. but there is breeding here.

Sweet-berry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Medium to full body and juicy tannins. Yet. it’s structured and focused.

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2019 Charmail rolls out of the glass with notions of plum preserves. baked cherries and fruitcake plus hints of spice box. gingerbread and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied. the palate has bags of spicy black fruit preserves on offer with a fine-grained frame and just enough freshness. finishing long and harmonious. Nicely done!

The 2019 Charmail is a very pretty and expressive Haut Médoc Cru Bourgeois. Dried herbs. rose petal. mint and sweet red cherry all grace this perfumed. lifted white. A wine of real beauty. understatement and elegance. the 2019 is impeccable in its balance. This could be a sleeper.
