CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Fonplegade 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:
verkostet auf Chateau Fonplegade am 02.04.2019 Cuvee:90 Merlot / 10Cabernet Franc Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 13. September und 29. September Ausbau: der Ausbau wird über 16 -18 Monate stattfinden / 50% neues Holz. 30% einjährige Fässer. 10% im Cement-Eitank und 10% Aphoren. Durchschnittsalter der Reben: 30 Jahre / Pflanzdichte: 8500 Reben je Hektar Die Farbe präsentiert sich von hoher Dichte. der Rand hat eine brilliante Aufhellung. Im Glas steigen reife schwarzbeerige Früchte auf. süssliche Kirschnuancen. etwas Süssholz und ein Touch Mokka. sehr behutsame Röstaromatik. Auch auf Fonplegade haben die grossen Stockingerfässer Einzug gehalten. in Kombination mit den ebenfalls immer häufiger verwendeten Amphoren führt dies dazu. dass die Weine immer weniger vom Neuholz dominiert werden. Am Gaumen balanciert. mit der in diesem Jahrgang so konstant zu findenden Säurestruktur. wenn die Weine von der Cote Pavie kommen. Dieses perfekte Terroir. welches auch Fonplegade besitzt. In Kombination mit den Kalksteinböden. welche die Trauben perfekt bis zur Lese versorgen konnten. Im Finale mit ordentlich Zug und Kraft. aber ohne Schwere. 94-95+

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Fonplegade 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

The currant and light vanilla come through on the nose with some flowers, too. It’s full-bodied with lots of rich fruit and chewy tannins that need to soften. Powerful and intense. Try after 2024.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Fonplegade 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Fonplegade needs no convincing, charging out of the gate with bold notions of black cherry preserves, mulberries and ripe, juicy black plums, leading to suggestions of Indian spices, dried roses and smoked meats plus a touch of tar. The medium to full-bodied palate is beautifully crafted, dripping with poise and sophistication, draped in plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering black cherry note. A very polished showing!

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Fonplegade 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

The 2018 Fonplégade is super-elegant and refined. Some of the youthful exuberance the 2018 showed from barrel has naturally subsided, revealing a Saint-Émilion of real finesse and nuance. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice, blood orange and cinnamon are all beautifully layered. Even so, the 2018 was a bit more impressive en primeur. Hopefully, it is just closed post-bottling. We will see.

Den Chateau Poesia 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
Composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Poesia has a medium to deep garnet-purple color, exploding from the glass with bombastic notes of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and blueberry pie, plus hints of pencil shavings, kirsch, garrigue and Chinese five spice. The medium to full-bodied palate is beautifully balanced, featuring bags of bright, perfumed black fruit and cheery red berry sparks, supported by plush tannins, finishing long and mineral laced.

Den Chateau Poesia 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Very pretty blue fruit and black cherries, as well as chalk and stone. Medium to full body with fine, polished tannins and a long finish. Compact, fine texture. Drink in 2025 and onwards.

Chateau Pindefleurs 2018 Saint Emilion mit 92-94 Punkte von Suckling

Jeb Dunnuck
Sweet crème de cassis, black raspberries, kirsch, and spicy oak emerge from the 2018 Château Pindefleurs, which is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc from more gravelly clay soils. Elegant, medium to full-bodied, and seamless, it hits the palate with a light, graceful texture, no sensation of weight or heaviness, and sweet tannins. It’s another finesse-driven, beautiful Saint-Émilion that’s going to represent a smoking value.

Chateau Saint-Georges Cote Pavie 2018 Saint-Emilion Grand-Cru

Der Saint-Georges Cote Pavie 2018 ist in diesem Jahr aus 80% Merlot und 20% Cabernet Franc. Nach der manuellen Lese per Hand sind die Trauben nochmals auf dem Sortiertisch penibel sortiert und selektioniert worden. Nach etwa 12-14 Monaten in temperaturkontrollierten Fasskellern. wird der Wein etwa 20 Monate nach der Lese auf dem Chateau abgefüllt. Die Weinberge von Saint-Georges Cote Pavie erstrecken sich auf 5 Hektar und sind umrahmt von grandiosen Terroirs wie die von Chateau Pavie und Chateau La Gaffeliere. Die im Durchschnitt 30 Jahre alten Reben stehen auf dem Kalksteinplateau der Cote Pavie mit Lehmauflage. So ist es auch zu erklären. dass die Trauben in diesem warmen und sonnenreichen Jahrgang genügend Frische und feingliedrige Frucht aufweisen. Hier ist alles am rechten Fleck. ein grosser Genusswert aus dem Saint Emilion.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Saint-Georges Cote Pavie 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
This comes from the limestone slope between La Gaffelière and Pavie. Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 Côte Pavie comes skipping out of the glass with bright. cheery scents of warm raspberries. black cherries and ripe blackberries plus hints of red roses. menthol. dark chocolate and licorice. Medium to full-bodied. the palate delivers mouth-filling fresh. crunchy fruit with beautifully ripe. finely grained tannins and seamless freshness. finishing long and perfumed. Impressive!

94-95 Sucklingpunkte für den Chateau Saint-Georges Cote Pavie 2018 Saint-Emilion Grand-Cru

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Saint-Georges Cote Pavie 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:
A linear and very tight wine. but shows substance and character with very fine tannins that last for minutes.

Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Chateau Saint-Georges Cote Pavie 2018 im Mai 2018 wie folgt:
The 2018 Saint-Georges (Côte Pavie) is a deep. brooding wine with a compelling interplay of dense fruit and supporting structure. Blueberry jam. savory herbs. lavender. mint. spice and gravel jump from the glass in this potent. virile Saint-Émilion. Saint-Georges has really come along in the last few years. The 2018 is terrific and also quite promising. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion

James Suckling über den Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion:
Perfumed nose of dried flowers, sandalwood, pine cones, currants, cassis, cloves, walnuts and spiced plums. It’s medium-to full-bodied with polished, ripe and creamy tannins. Plush and velvety with a supple, fresh finish. Drink from 2024.

94 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Fombrauge is one of the best wines I have tasted from this property in some time. It shows all the richness that is typical of Bernard Magrez's style but with less heaviness and a good deal of aromatic presence that helps balance things out. Sweet dark cherry, chocolate, leather, licorice and mocha build into the resonant, super-expressive finish. The 2019 is a classy Fombrauge.

Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Fombrauge, which was bottled in spring 2021, retains the opulence that I found from barrel, still showing that heady mixture of blackberry, blueberry and a touch of cooked meat, if perhaps just requiring a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy and generous, with succulent ripe tannins, a satiny texture and a gossamer finish that slips down the throat. Afford it 5–6 years and this should evolve into a lovely Saint-Émilion.

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion:
This rolls through with a cashmere grace, offering cassis, steeped plum and blackberry purée flavors infused with black tea and incense notes. A late alder thread keeps this nicely grounded. Suave. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035. 23,000 cases made.

93 Punkte vom Falstaff für den Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion

Der Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:
Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Zart nach eingelegte Kirschen, ein Hauch von kandierten Orangenzesten, zarte Edelholzwürze, feines Bukett. Stoffig, elegant, reife Herzkirschen, seidige Tannine, sehr gut balanciert, mineralisch und anhaftend, feine Süße im Abgang, bereits zugänglich und mit Entwicklungspotenzial ausgestattet.

Chateau Bellevue 2019 Saint Emilion

Jeb Dunnuck im April 2022:
A riper, richer wine in the vintage, the 2019 Château Bellevue offers up lots of blackberry and currant-like fruits as well as spicy oak, chocolate, and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, polished tannins, shows the purity of the vintage, and just has loads of character. I like this today, but it should evolve positively over the coming 4-5 years and hold at a plateau for 15+

James Suckling verköstigt den Chateau Bellevue 2019 Saint Emilion:
Sweet berries and flowers, such as violets and lavender. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, creamy tannins and a long, caressing finish. Really polished. Drink after 2024.

93 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Bellevue 2019 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Bellevue 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Bellevue is super-distinctive. It offers a striking combination of rich, deep fruit mixed with the intense mineral notes that are such a signature of this cool micro-climate. That makes for a fascinating Saint-Émilion full of intrigue. Red cherry, sage, chalk, dried flowers and white pepper punctuate this decidedly bright, chiseled Saint-Émilion.

Der Chateau Bellevue 2019 Saint Emilion am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Feine mineralische Nuancen, schwarze Beeren, ein Hauch von Herzkirschen, zarter Edelholztouch, verführerisches Bukett. Komplex, saftig und elegant, reifem tragende Tannine, gute Frische, reife Herzkirschen im Abgang, bleibt sehr gut haften, zeigt Länge und sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial, aristokratischer Stil, extraktsüßer Nachhall.

A beautiful Puygueraud with blackberries. black olives and hints of salt. Medium to full body and firm tannins at the end. Shows tension and beauty.

90-93 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux wie folgt:
Dark plum and boysenberry fruit flavors are inlaid liberally with a smoky tobacco leaf note in this red. A tug of dark earth at the end gives this a little gutsy feel too.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux wie folgt:
Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 Puygueraud features scents of warm blueberries. plum preserves and kirsch with touches of chocolate box and yeast extract. Full-bodied with a firm frame of ripe. grainy tannins. it has loads of freshness lifting the densely packed layers of black fruit and finishes with great length.

88-90 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Puygueraud 2018 Cotes de Bordeaux wie folgt:
The 2018 Puygueraud packs a serious punch. Bold. super-ripe and explosive. the 2018 possesses striking depth at this level. Blackberry jam. chocolate. grilled herbs and spice are all generous in this rich Côtes de Francs. It will be interesting to see how the 2018 develops during elevage. Today. it is quite promising and complex. especially within its peer group. Even with gentler hand in vinification. the 2018 is a powerful wine that very much shows the richness of the year. The blend is 85% Merlot. 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. Tasted three times.

Chateau Poesia 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru

James Suckling über den Chateau Poesia 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:
22 Jan, 2022 – Dried flowers, mimosa, blackcurrants, peppercorns and burnt orange on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tightly wound tannins and crisp acidity. Zesty, mineral character on the tight finish. Lightly smoky at the end. Try in 2026.

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Poesia 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:
The 2019 Poesia is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted from Hélène and Patrice Lévêque. Rich and sumptuous, Poesia marries intensity with vibrancy in grand style. Poesia is a big, explosive Saint-Émilion, but it also possesses tremendous energy. Dark fruit, gravel, incense, spice and saddle leather open with a bit of coaxing. There is an exotic quality to Poesia in 2019 that is especially alluring. Brilliant.

Und Neal Martin (vinous) zum Chateau Poesia 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:
The 2019 Poesia has an expressive bouquet featuring a mélange of red and black fruit and black pepper, the limestone terroir lending tension. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, perhaps a little more powerful than the Barde-Haut, and displays very fine precision on the finish. A touch of white pepper furnishes the aftertaste. Probably the best Poesia ever.

Virginie de Valandraud 2019 Saint Emilion

James Suckling über den Virginie de Valandraud 2019 Saint Emilion:
19 Jan, 2022 – Blackberry, chocolate and hazelnut character on the nose, following through nicely to a medium body with integrated tannins and a fresh finish. Tight at the end, suggesting more to come with bottle age. Hints of mushrooms and earth. Second wine of Valandraud. Hint of wood at the end that will dissipate with age. Drink after 2024.

94 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Virginie de Valandraud 2019 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Virginie de Valandraud 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Virginie de Valandraud is wonderfully deep and super-expressive. Red plum, raspberry jam, espresso, crushed rocks, rose petal, lavender and tobacco build into the richly textured, resonant finish. This explosive, flavorful Saint-Émilion has a ton to offer.

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Virginie de Valandraud 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Virginie de Valandraud has a delightful bouquet, quite refined and focused, featuring predominantly black fruit mixed with cedar and light touches of mint. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, gaining weight and concentration toward the structured finish. While not as Left Bank in style as it was in barrel, there is impressive backbone here. This deserves 3–4 years in bottle.

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Virginie de Valandraud 2019 Saint Emilion:
Richly textured, featuring cashmere-like waves of dark plum, cassis and blackberry compote flavors that glide through and are laced with light violet, anise and black tea notes. The rumble of tannins can be heard on the finish, but for the vintage, this is extremely suave in the end. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2025 through 2040. 2,900 cases made.

Der Virginie de Valandraud 2019 Saint Emilion am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart nussig unterlegte reife Pflaumenfrucht, Brombeerkonfit, kandierte Orangenzesten, ein Hauch von Nougat. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerige Nuancen, nicht ganz so engmaschig, feine Tannine, gute Frische, bereits zugänglich.

Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion 2019 Pessac Leognan

James Suckling über den Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion 2019 Pessac Leognan:

What a great nose with such complexity of blackberry, forest floor, mushroom and bark. Like walking in a deep forest. Full-bodied with a dense palate, yet it remains energetic and focused. Very fine texture. Flavorful finish. Extremely persistent. Fantastic young 2019. Try after 2028.

97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion 2019 Pessac Leognan

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion 2019 Pessac Leognan:

Technical Director Guillaume Pouthier turned out another stellar wine with the 2019 Les Carmes Haut-Brion. Elegant, polished and wonderfully nuanced to the core, the 2019 dazzles right out of the gate. Whole clusters enhance a whole range of Cabernet Franc inflections in a wine that is immediately seductive. On the palate, the 2019 is creamy and textured. Plum, blood orange, spice, mocha and dried herbs lend an exotic quality that is so alluring. The 2019 is a mysterious, totally seductive wine that no one who is serious about Bordeaux will want to miss. To be sure, Les Carmes is far from typical, but it is incredibly unique. Its longevity is likely to be measured in multiples of decades. Quite simply, I loved it.

William Kelley im April 2022:

The 2019 Les Carmes Haut-Brion has turned out very well in bottle. Mingling aromas of plums and cassis with notions of blood orange, warm spices and new oak, it's full-bodied, velvety and seamless, with an ample core of bright, succulent fruit that's framed by an elegantly muscular chassis of ripe, powdery tannins and lively acids. Concluding with a long, expansive finish, it's reminiscent of a more giving, extroverted version of Pouthier's superb 2016. As is now the rule at this address, some whole bunches were retained during maceration, and the wine saw a long élevage in a variety of vessels, from classic 225-liter Bordeaux barriques to foudres and amphorae. The blend is dominated by 42% Cabernet Franc, complemented by 31% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot.

Lots of leaf, mushroom, bark and plum aromas and flavors. It’s medium-to full-bodied with juicy fruit and firm, fine tannins. Tight at the finish. The quality and the polish of the tannins are exceptional. So integrated. Needs three or four years to open. Try after 2024

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
Juicy and forward in feel. with fresh plum. blackberry and anise notes. Dense. but still silky and refined in feel. revealing a long mineral echo through the finish. This is so pure. it seems almost too easy to drink already. just as you realize how ridiculously long it is.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
The 2018 Beau-Sejour Becot is composed of 80% Merlot. 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Merlot was harvested on September 12-25. and the Cabernet varieties were harvested on October 4. 5 and 10. Yields were 46 hectoliters per hectare. and it is anticipated that the wine will age for 16 months. Sixty-five percent of the wine will be matured in new barriques. while 35% will be aged in vats. amphorae and large oak casks of 20-hectoliter capacity. Deep garnet-purple colored. it leaps from the glass with bold. expressive notions of stewed plums. blackberry pie and Black Forest cake with nuances of menthol. mocha. molten licorice and wild sage plus a waft of lavender. Full-bodied. the palate is laden with latent energy. offering slow-releasing glimpses at dark. seductive berry preserves layers and vibrant earthy accents. framed by firm. grainy tannins and seamless freshness. finishing long and mineral laced.

96 Punkte bei Jeb Dunnuck Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion

Jeb Dunnuck im März 2021:
This estate makes an incredibly classic, elegant Saint-Emilion. The 2018 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is based on 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon that was brought up in 65% new French oak. Coming from a beautiful terroir on the upper plateau, it reveals a deep purple/ruby color as well as perfumed cassis and mulberry fruits intermixed with ample spring flowers, chalky minerality, violets, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied and nicely concentrated on the palate, it has terrific mid-palate depth, flawless balance, background oak, and polished yet significant tannins. If you want to know what limestone soil gives to a wine, try this! It has the polish and balance to offer pleasure today, yet the cellar will be your friend. This warrants 5-7 years of bottle age and will have 30+ years of prime drinking.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
The 2018 Beau-Séjour Bécot has really closed down since I tasted it en primeur. Inky red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint and blood orange gradually open in the glass, all framed by veins of chalky minerality. The 2018 is a fabulous wine in the making, but readers have to be patient. Time in a decanter or simply in the glass helps to bring out the wine's considerable depth.
