Breathtaking aromas of perfectly ripe fruit with blackberries. black olives. licorice. cedar and sweet tobacco. Full body. incredible depth and power. yet this is always in reserve and check. Everything is in the right place for this new legend from Trotanoy. Try it in 2026. Will age for decades in the future.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2015 am 21.02.2018 wie folgt:

Composed of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. the 2015 Trotanoy reveals a medium to deep garnet-purple color and comes prancing out of the glass with the most striking black fruit preserves. plum pudding. red currant jelly and blueberry compote notions. followed up by nuances of rose petals. chocolate box. licorice and menthol plus a waft of wild mushrooms. Full-bodied. rich and decadent. it fills the palate with generous perfumed black and blue fruit layers with a seductive frame of velvety tannins and seamless freshness. finishing very long and very minerally.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2015 aus Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2015 Trotanoy is very clearly one of the wines of the vintage. In 2015. Trotanoy captures all the intensity of the year in its ample. full-bodied frame. and yet there is more than enough structure. energy and minerality to play off the wine's more overt leanings. A rush of black cherry. plum. graphite. leather. smoke and game punctuate the huge. tannic finish. What a wine!
 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Certan de May 2015 Pomerol am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

This has a darker sheen of fruits in the blackberry and blood-plum spectrum with sweetly spicy and earthy aromas and some violets to boot. The palate has quite a forthright tannin firmness. A very long. linear wine with a full body and a smooth. fresh. blueberry/plum finish. An impressive wine that rolls endlessly through the finish. This has plenty of ageing potential.

Try from 2023.

The violets. roses and dark fruits are so evident but they entice you in a subtle and fresh way. Full-bodied. dense and tannic. yet everything is so in tune with everything else and there are no hard edges or loose ends. It’s like a whirlpool that draws you down and then shows you its beauty. The harmony and complexity is phenomenal. Try in 2024 but I don’t want to wait.

A blend of 90% Merlot. 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. and 1% Cabernet Franc matured in 65% new and 35% one-year-old French oak for 16 months. the 2015 Clinet offers a medium to deep garnet-purple color and slowly. provocatively unfurls in the glass with notes of crushed black cherries. warm black raspberries and red cherry compote plus nuances of bay leaves. cinnamon stick. star anise. fenugreek and forest floor and wafts of potpourri and mocha. The palate reveals a sensuous medium-bodied style offset beautifully by very firm. very silky tannins and packed with energetic. multifaceted fruit as well as great tension. finishing long with an arresting spice and floral perfume. A real stunner!

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Clinet 2015 im Februar 2018 wie folgt:

A dramatic. sweeping Pomerol. the 2015 Clinet is ample. racy and voluptuous from the very first taste. Those qualities are going to make the 2015 nearly impossible to resist young. Readers who can wait will be rewarded with a racy. deeply layered Pomerol of the highest level. For now. the raciness of the dark red cherry and plum fruit suggests a very bright future. Hints of rose petal. mint and licorice add the closing shades of nuance. What a gorgeous wine this is.

Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:

The 2016 Petit-Figeac is a gorgeous. silky second wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Sweet floral notes add freshness and lift to this expressive Saint-Émilion. In 2016, Petit-Figeac has a bit more Franc than usual which also contributes to the wine's perfumed personality. This is impeccably done.

The 2016 Petit-Figeac is a blend of 41% Cabernet Franc. 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored. it opens with bold scents of warm black plums. black cherries and mulberries with touches of baking spices, potpourri, unsmoked cigars and dusty soil.

William Kelley im April 2022:

One of the wines of the vintage, the 2019 Vieux Château Certan unfurls in the glass with a striking bouquet of cassis and cherries mingled with notions of violets, loamy soil, sweet spices and incense. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's seamless and enveloping, with a fleshy core of beautifully vibrant fruit, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, this perfumed, sensual Vieux Château Certan is a remarkable achievement from Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont.

James Suckling über den Vieux Chateau Certan 2019 Pomerol:

11 Feb, 2022 – Subtle and complex with blackberries, violets, lilacs, roses and hints of ink. So floral, yet subtle on the nose. Full-bodied with incredible polish and beauty, the silky tannins running the length of the wine and going on and on. It builds with sheer elegance and structure. A blend of 78% merlot, 15% cabernet franc and 7% cabernet sauvignon. Drink after 2028, but already a joy to taste.


Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2019 Pomerol:

The 2019 Vieux Château Certan is even better from bottle than it was from barrel. It is very clearly one of the highlights on the Right Bank. Soaring aromatics are immediately captivating. There is an exoticism in the 2019 that I saw from barrel that is evident in the bottled wine, but today, I see more balance and harmony. Crème de cassis, licorice, lavender, spice and rose petal blend into a core of red/purplish berry fruit. All the elements are so well balanced. The Grand Vin is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, but the blend also includes one lot of young vine Cabernet Sauvignon that was added for its aromatic presence. That decision paid off in spades, as the 2019 is truly magical.

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) beschreibt den Vieux Chateau Certan 2019 Pomerol:

The 2019 Vieux Château Certan was picked September 23–27 and October 2–3, and matured in two-thirds new oak. Alexandre Thienpont mentioned that the 2019 includes a lot of Cabernet Sauvignon, which displayed such distinctive aromatics that he had to include it in the final blend (unlike in 2020). He pointed to a scent of immortelle, a plant that grows on sand dunes. This was stunning as a barrel sample, and there is no change in bottle. It still delivers exquisitely delineated, vivacious scents of red fruit, touches of crushed stone and a suggestion of brine. The palate is medium-bodied and classic in style, the expressive Cabernet components complementing the Merlot. There’s fine backbone here, and this VCC fans out gloriously on the finish, with a surfeit of freshness and tension. Yet unlike some recent vintages, this is a Pomerol that says "Attendez!" Give it a decade in a cellar if you know what’s good for you.

91 Merlot 6 Cabernet Franc 3 Petit Verdot von einem 18.7 ha grossen Terroir. Der Kern ist dicht und konzentriert. Die Nase ist reich an dunklen Früchten, fantastisch diese etwas verspielte Würze in der Nase. Im Mund spielt er seine Komplexität voll aus. Mit jeder Sekunde schiebt er mehr über den Gaumen, sehr kraftvoll und klar, mit Krokant und gerösteten Nüssen im Finale. Sehr balanciert, auch hier verleiht der Cabernet die Würze. Das Tannin ist super reif. 98 Punkte

 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

Ripe black fruit, clove, licorice, pine and walnut husk on the nose. Bitter chocolate and coffee, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, tight tannins. Muscular and very formed. Energetic and precise with long, chewy layers and lots of depth, structure and polish. Superb. Needs time. Try from 2026.

 

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

A brick house. featuring steeped currant and plum fruit. scored by tobacco. bay leaf and charcoal notes. A great tug of earth lurks underneath. but there's plenty of fruit to handle it. This is a big one.

 

One of the most seamless, ethereal wines in the vintage, the 2018 Château La Fleur-Petrus checks in as 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot coming from a 45-acre vineyard of deep clay and gravelly soils located on the upper plateau of Pomerol. The vines average 35 years in age, and the élevage spans 16-18 months in 50% new French oak. Unquestionably in the same league as Trotanoy, Le Gay, Lafleur, Hosanna, and the other leviathans of the region, its deep purple hue is followed by a gorgeously layered, multi-dimensional 2018 with full-bodied aromas and flavors of black raspberry and blackcurrant fruits intermixed with spring flowers, dried herbs, and a hint of white truffle. Medium to full-bodied, with stunning symmetry and balance, its tannins are ripe and polished, and it has nicely integrated acidity as well as a great finish. It should drink well for another 20-25 years.

A blend of 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2018 la Fleur-Petrus has a medium garnet-purple color and a slightly closed-down nose to begin, soon unfurling to reveal earthy notions of black truffles, mossy tree bark and damp soil, over a core of plum preserves, wild blueberries and redcurrants, plus a fragrant waft of menthol lilacs. The medium to full-bodied palate has the most gorgeous, velvety texture with well-knit freshness giving lift to the densely packed black fruit and earthy layers, finishing with a beguiling perfume. Stunning. Give it a good 3-4 years in bottle and drink it over the next 30 years or more.

The 2018 La Fleur-Pétrus is positively rapturous, just as it was from barrel. Mother Nature appears to have taken all the signatures of this site and turned up the volume. Loud. Rich and beautifully layered, La Fleur-Pétrus dazzles with magnificent richness and a finish that is eternal. Blood orange, mint, rose petal, spice and sweet red berry fruit build over time. I can't remember tasting a better young La Fleur-Pétrus. Give it a few years to shed some baby fat. Magnificent.

A blend of 92% Merlot. 7.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Petit Verdot. the 2015 la Fleur-Petrus is a little reticent on the nose to begin. offering up beguiling notes of tilled soil. black olives. charcuterie and dried Provence herbs over a core of preserved plums. black cherries and black raspberries with touches of tar and new leather. Full-bodied. rich. plush and seductive in the mouth. it finishes with persistent. slowly revealing earthy/savory layers. which will keep you reaching for another glass.
 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den La Fleur Petrus 2015 im Februar 2018 wie folgt:

The 2015 La Fleur-Pétrus is a magical wine. Soaring aromatics. beautifully layered. translucent fruit and exceptional balance are the signatures. Hints of orange peel. white pepper and rose petal add an exotic flair. A wine of total harmony. the 2015 offers superb intensity and structure to play off the natural richness of the year. A dollop of Petit Verdot rounds out the blend. The 2015 is like a full-on orchestra where all the instruments are clearly heard but also come together in unison to create a wall of sound that is overwhelming in its beauty.

The 2016 La Conseillante is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc aged in 70% new and 30% one-year-old French oak for 17 months. Deep garnet-purple colored. it slips provocatively out of the glass with a lifted perfume of roses. candied violets and lavender over a core of warm red and black plums. chocolate box. unsmoked cigars and baked cherries with wafts of wild thyme and tilled soil. Medium-bodied. the palate exudes polish and sophistication with bags of fragrance. freshness and energy. sporting exquisitely fine-grained tannins and finishing very long and minerally. Around 3.808 cases produced.

 

Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:

The 2016 La Conseillante is a brilliant wine from the team led by Technical Director Marielle Cazaux. Polished and sophisticated. the 2016 possesses stunning vertical lift. with soaring aromatics that make a strong first impression. Silky and seductive on the palate. the 2016 is all about precision and energy in the early going. It is also one of the most quite. soft-spoken Pomerols of the vintage. Hints of blackberry. lavender. licorice and spice add nuance. but in 2016 La Conseillante stands out for its sublime balance and total sense of harmony. The 2016 spent 17 months in oak. 70% new. As gorgeous as the 2016 is. my impression is that the best is yet to come. Since arriving at La Conseillante. Cazaux has changed much in the farming of the property. including introducing cover crops and limiting yields. She also now works with no sulfites in winemaking and opts for lower temperatures in fermentation. In other words. the full results of all of that work is yet to be seen. For now. though. the 2016 Conseillante is a pretty special wine. Don't miss it. Tasted two times.

 

James Suckling Januar 2019:

The aromas of violets and dark berries with licorice and sweet black tea are so attractive. What really impresses is the sweet fruit in the dense middle palate. So attractive. At the same time. there’s plenty of plush and ripe tannins that give the wine form and brightness. And it still remains bright on the finish. as the tannins roll on. A great Conseillante. Try after 2024.
 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Petit-Village 2015 am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

Cedary oak adds spices to pristine plums and dark berries. Terrific clarity and allure.
The palate delivers a seamless and fluid build of smooth tannins. carrying bright cherries. plums and dark chocolate through to a deeply classy finish.
Superb. Best from 2020.

William Kelley im April 2022:

The 2019 Pavie Macquin has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, cherries, burning embers, black truffle and licorice, framed by a deft framing of new oak that's more discreet than was the case even a few vintages back. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and layered, with a strikingly vibrant core of fruit, powdery, chalky tannins and a long, penetrating, youthfully firm finish. Tasted alongside older vintages, it's clear that the Thienpont team have eased off extraction, which allows the quality of fruit that this fantastic vineyard produces to express itself all the more completely, delivering the finest Pavie Macquin since 1998.

 

James Suckling über den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2019 Saint Emilion:

29 Nov, 2021 – Lots of roses and dark fruit, such as blackberries and brambleberries on the nose. Full-bodied, yet tight and poised, with real focus and firmness and seamless tannins that run the length of the wine. Minerality and persistence in a cool way. This is very serious for the vintage and for the cellar. Try after 2025.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 Pavie Macquin is exotic and beguiling right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry, white truffle, leather, tobacco, blood orange, cedar and mint all meld together in the glass. As always, Pavie Macquin is defined by its sumptuous fruit, plush contours and total allure. Pavie Macquin is not exactly subtle, but it sure is delicious.

 

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2019 Saint Emilion:

This unfurls as seductively as a cashmere scarf, offering black tea and incense notes amidst a lush wave of dark plum, fig and blackberry reduction flavors. The subtle inlay of charcoal, tobacco and sweet bay adds length and detail through the finish. Gorgeous. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2024 through 2038. 5,500 cases made.

Tasted on four separate occasions, the 2016 Château Clinet is another brilliant wine from this estate. Showing slightly more freshness and purity than the 2015, its saturated purple color is followed by a thrilling array of crème de cassis, graphite, ground herbs, and a terrific sense of minerality. Deep, full-bodied, with building tannins, and a magical sense of purity and elegance paired with real density and depth, it needs short term cellaring and will keep for three decades.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown am 30.11.2018

The 2016 Clinet is composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It was aged using the Oxoline system. in 70% new and 30% one-year-old barrels for 16 months. It has a deep garnet-purple color with cedar and smoked meats on the nose giving way to black and red plums and earthy notions with wafts of cassis and pencil shavings. The palate is medium to full-bodied. elegant. polished and vivacious with loads of red and black fruit layers and an earthy finish. Around 4.416 cases produced.

 

Verkostungsnotiz aus Januar 2019:

The 2016 Clinet. a blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. was cropped at 49hl/ha and matured in 70% new oak. It has a quintessential Pomerol bouquet of vibrant floral aromas. black cherries and hints of Christmas cake and truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and very harmonious and refined. The sample at the château showed a touch more backbone than the one at the London UGC tastings. offering plenty of blackberry and black olive notes and then turning saline toward the dense. muscular finish. A classy. sophisticated Clinet that will reward those with the nous to cellar it for several years. Outstanding.

 

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:

Beautiful blue fruit and earth with hints of black truffle. this has a violet and fragrant edge. too. Really complex. youthful impression here. The palate has mouthwatering fruit flavor and terrific sense of fresh energy and cut on the finish. A blend of 90 per cent merlot and ten per cent cabernet sauvignon. Try from 2024.
