98 Punkte

Cuvee: 89 Merlot / 11Cabernet Franc Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 21. September und 04. Oktober Kompakt und dicht im Kern. Die Nase ist unheimlich klar und pur von Frucht getragen. tolle Balance zwischen den Komponente. Am Gaumen intensiv. aber ohne Schwere. sehr frisch im Finale. toll gelungen.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Polished aromas of lavender, plum, dried blueberry, clove, sandalwood and dark chocolate. Hints of praline. It’s full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Supple, seamless layers with great length and precision. Still reserved and tight. A toned and textured red with great structure. Try from 2026.

The 2018 Château Larcis Ducasse checks in as 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc that comes from a gorgeous hillside terroir on the Côte Pavie, located between Château Pavie and Château Bellefont-Belcier. Aged 18 months in 60% new barrels, it offers a truly sensational bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, espresso roast, scorched earth, bloody meat, chocolate, iron, and bouquet garni. A massive, super-rich Saint-Emilion with a dense, concentrated, layered mouthfeel, it has building yet sweet tannins and incredible purity of fruit. Reminding me of the 2005 shortly after release, this heavenly juice offers astonishing richness and depth while staying flawlessly balanced and elegant. Sadly, there are less than 3,000 cases produced, but this monumental, legendary wine won't hit maturity for a good 8-10 years and will have 40-50 years of longevity if well stored. Hats off to Nicolas Thienpont and consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt for producing one of the wines of the vintage as well as one of the greatest young Bordeaux I've ever tasted.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Larcis Ducasse needs a fair bit of swirling to unlock notes of crushed blackberries, plum preserves and boysenberries with suggestions of black truffles, tapenade and crushed rocks coming through, building to a subtle underlying perfume of roses and cloves. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits and loads of savory sparks, framed by firm, slightly chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Larcis Ducasse is one of the real overachievers of the vintage. Richness and classicism meld together in a Saint-Émilion that dazzles from the very first taste. Rich dark fruit, mocha, licorice, espresso and leather all open in the glass. Time brings out bright acids and that firm spice of Larcis tannin. More than that, though, Larcis impresses with its exquisite balance and class. It is easily one of the most undervalued wines on the Right Bank. Don't let its modest price fool you. Larcis is one the most compelling wines of the vintage. Don't miss it!

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.

98 Punkte
Die Nase zeigt ein wenig mehr Würze. mit zart leedrigen Anklängen. Dann setzen sich ebenfalls die dunklen Früchte durch. angeführt von Holunder und Cassis. Reife Kirsche und eine kühlende Mentholnuance. Im Mund kraftvoll und dicht. mit salziger Mineralik. superfrische Säure. Eine Wagenladung reifer Tannine schieben über den Gaumen. Es gelingt ihm frisch zu bleiben. keine Spur von überreife oder Hitze.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Belair Monange 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
Very intense blackberries, black olives, blueberries and dried flowers. Stony minerality. Even some pine. Full-bodied with superb depth of fruit and ultra fine tannins that are intense and polished. The finish is so long and delivers so much flavor, from wet earth to blackberry again. Seamless palate. Try after 2026.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Belair Monange 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
Made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Belair Monange rolls effortlessly out of the glass with gregarious scents of black cherry preserves, stewed plums and boysenberries, plus suggestions of Indian spices, rose oil, Ceylon tea and garrigue, with a waft of tilled soil. The rich, seductive, full-bodied palate is laden with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Wonderfully hedonic and conceivably drinkable now, give it 4-5 years in the cellar to allow the earthy/savory nuances to fully emerge from within the fruit and drink it over the next 25 years or more.

Jeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Wein in seiner Verkostungsnotis vom 11.03.2021 wie folgt:
An incredible expression of Merlot grown on limestone soils, the 2018 Château Belair-Monange (90/10 Merlot and Cabernet Franc) sports a dense purple hue as well as powerful notes of blackcurrants, kirsch liqueur, flowery incense, chalky minerality, and white truffle. Rich, full-bodied, and beautifully concentrated, it's a serious 2018 offering integrated oak, ripe yet building tannins, and one hell of a great finish. The finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted, it's a wine to seek out and hide in the cellar for a good 5-7 years. It's going to evolve for 30-40 years.

Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

This is one of the best wines I have had from here. Full-bodied yet focused and super dynamic. Tight and linear with fantastic length and energy at the end. Exciting.

96-99 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Dark plum and boysenberry fruit is laced with tobacco and chalk notes, while the fleshy grip slowly builds through the finish. This is seriously long and though the fruit is gorgeous, the minerality steals the show in the end.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Clos Fourtet is a little youthfully mute to begin. With coaxing, it opens out to notes of crushed blackberries, warm black plums and wild blueberries plus suggestions of forest floor, lavender. baking spices and potpourri. Full-bodied, the palate has an amazing texture of soft, plush tannins and oodles of freshness supporting the layer upon layer of berries and spices, finishing long and fragrant. Total time in barrel should run 16 months in 60% new and 40% one-year old barriques. The blend is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

One of the wines of the vintage, the 2018 Clos Fourtet is positively stunning. In the glass, the 2018 sizzles with tension and energy. A whole range of floral. mineral and red berry notes develop, but it is the wine's exceptional sense of harmony that leaves the deepest impression. Consulting winemakers Stephane Derenoncourt and Jean-Claude Berrouet turned out a glorious Clos Fourtet in 2018. Don't miss it. The blend is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times.

Cuvee: 78 Merlot / 20Cabernet Franc / 2 Cabernet Sauvignon Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 20. September und 12. Oktober Dicht und kompakt. die Nase ist total klar und von Frucht getragen. auch hier spieln schöne florale Anklänge mit. kein störendes Holz. frische Geruchseindrücke die an Minze erinnern. Im Mund hat er viel Kraft. doch alles bleibt sehr vital und frisch. Sehr langes Finale! 96-98 Punkte.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Violets, blackcurrants, cloves, tobacco, orange zest and dark chocolate on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and fresh acidity. Sleek and refined with elegant floral and spice notes on a long finish. Interesting hint of bitterness at the end. Try from 2025.

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Sleek, pure, aromatic and streamlined version, with lovely cassis, cherry puree, violet and mesquite notes tightly wound together, while anise and savory hints peek in. Long finish is carried by chalky minerality. A wine of poise. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2024 through 2037. 5,500 cases made.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Pavie Macquin is a blend of 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly, sensuously unfurls to reveal a gorgeous perfume of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, baked plums and violets, with nuances of licorice, Indian spices and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has achingly plush tannins and fantastic freshness framing the spicy black fruit and mineral layers, finishing long and so, so fragrant. Wow—just stunning!

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Pavie Macquin was impressive out of barrel. It has retained its opulent bouquet, perhaps becoming even more luxuriant and plush, offering copious black cherries, cassis and violet aromas and hints of vanilla pod and iodine in the background. The palate is where this really impresses, because its opulence is effortlessly counterbalanced by a bead of acidity that imparts freshness and tension. This is a multilayered Pavie-Macquin endowed with tremendous length on the aftertaste. Even after 60 seconds I can still feel this Saint-Émilion lapping upon my senses. Superb.

Domaine de Chevalier 2019 rouge Pessac Leognan

William Kelley im April 2022:
The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier is a magical wine in the making, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild plums, crushed blackcurrants and violets mingled with hints of pencil shavings, subtle spices and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, with a vibrant core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and lively acids, it's exquisitely elegant and harmonious, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. Stylistically, this wine exhibits a much closer affinity with the great Domaine de Chevalier of yesteryear than much of what was produced here in the early 2000s. It's a masterclass in what contemporary Bordeaux can deliver, and worth a special effort to seek out.

James Suckling über den Domaine de Chevalier 2019 rouge Pessac Leognan:
3 Feb, 2022 – Beautiful, ripe redcurrants, bay leaf, violets and raspberries on the nose. Full-bodied with firm and very tight tannins that are polished and layered. Crushed stones highlight the beautiful blue fruit. Poised and refined. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 4% cabernet franc. Try after 2026.

The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier is pure, silky and exceptionally beautiful. The 2019 is all in reserve today. Sweet red berry fruit, mint, spice and blood orange lend brilliance to this understated, super-classy Pessac-Léognan red. Lifted floral aromatics and silky tannins grace this exquisite, wonderfully polished wine. Tasted two times.

95 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Domaine de Chevalier 2019 rouge Pessac Leognan

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Domaine de Chevalier 2019 rouge Pessac Leognan:
The 2019 Domaine de Chevalier remains a little reticent on the nose at first and takes time to unfurl in the glass (often a good sign, in my book), revealing black fruit, crushed rock, undergrowth and just a touch of brine, perhaps less than in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied, poised and harmonious, with fine-grained tannins, wonderful mineralité and a gentle build toward the saline finish. It gains weight and cohesion with aeration. A noble Domaine de Chevalier that will age with style.

94 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Domaine de Chevalier 2019 rouge Pessac Leognan

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denDomaine de Chevalier 2019 rouge Pessac Leognan:
Very lush and forward, with a lovely wave of warmed plum reduction, cassis and blackberry preserve flavors. Features a subtle rumble of dark earth and warm stone through the finish, where licorice and apple wood accents also peek in. Delivers spine for form, but this is going to provide its best showing in the medium-term, as the fruit is so precocious. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035. 10,000 cases made.

Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion

William Kelley im April 2022:
The 2019 Figeac has turned out brilliantly. Wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries, cassis, warm spices, violets and pencil shavings, framed by a deft touch of nicely integrated new oak, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with terrific depth at the core, powdery structuring tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, precise finish. Rich but vibrant, this 2019 reflects the new precision that Frédéric Faye has brought to Figeac; but while it's richer and more polished than the wines of yesteryear, the estate's identity hasn't been lost.

James Suckling über den Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion:
1 Dec, 2021 – This is a really beautiful red with crushed-berry, plum, bark, mushroom and earth character. It’s full and creamy-textured with lots of tannins, but they are integrated and polished and flow across the palate. So much depth and intensity, yet there’s underlying grace and class. Try after 2025.

99 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Figeac is without question one of the wines of the vintage. All the promise it showed as a young barrel sample, is all there in bottle, too. Estate Director Frédéric Faye crafted a towering, statuesque Figeac built on vertical energy and a feeling of vibrancy that never lets up. Deep layers of red/purplish fruit, cedar, tobacco, mint and dried flowers are framed by a super-classic expression of structure that keeps things in balance. There is a bit more Cabernet Franc in this year's blend, and that definitely comes through. Readers who can find the 2019 should not hesitate, as it is truly majestic.

98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion

Jeb Dunnuck im April 2022:
The 2019 Château Figeac checks in as 36% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Merlot, and it's another brilliant wine from Frédéric Faye. This deep purple-hued effort offers a beautiful Pauillac-like bouquet of ripe black cherries, cassis, damp earth, leafy herbs, chocolate, and smoked tobacco. It has classic Figeac herbal, earthy goodness (no doubt due to its high percentage of Cabernet) and is medium to full-bodied on the palate, has perfect tannins and flawless balance, all making for a brilliant Saint-Emilion that brings richness and power paired with finesse and elegance. Give bottles 4-5 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following 30+

98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Figeac was bottled in mid-July. Deep in color, with a bouquet that is initially backward and reticent. It requires a few minutes to shake off the veil of oak from the élevage. As I observed last year, the Cabernet Franc is very expressive this year, contributing blackberry and graphite notes and lending a more Left Bank-style bouquet. The palate is very fresh from the first moment, and very well structured, delivering layers of black fruit struck through by a fine bead of acidity. The tannins are very fine, and that crucial saline element appears toward the persistent finish. This is overtly classic in style and will require cellaring to reveal its full potential. But what potential! Chapeau, Frédéric Faye and team Manoncourt.

95 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Chateau Figeac 2019 Saint Emilion:
Large-scaled, capturing all the rich and flamboyant cassis, steeped plum and blackberry reduction notes that are hallmarks of the vintage, along with a broad swath of loam and warm gravel underneath as tobacco and alder accents fill in wherever possible. Muscular and toothy along the edges but rock-solid in build, with enough fruit to round into form eventually. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2040. 9,062 cases made.

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.

BIO

Jeb Dunnuck im März 2021 über den Chateau Petit Grave Aine 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:

The Cabernet Franc-dominated 2018 Château Petit Gravet Aîné (there's 20% Merlot) comes from the upper plateau in Saint-Emilion and was raised in new French oak. It's handled its élevage nicely and has just subtle vanilla and spicy oak notes as well as impressive red, black, and blue fruits intermixed with notes of acacia flowers, spice box, forest floor, and tobacco. Tighter and more backward from bottle than barrel, it's medium to full-bodied and has a balanced, elegant texture, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It needs 3-5 years of bottle age and should have two decades of overall longevity.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im März 2021 bewertet den Chateau Petit Grave Aine 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:

The 2018 Petit Gravet Aîné is a blend of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, weighing in with 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts from the glass with vibrant notes of kirsch, black raspberries and stewed plum, plus hints of lavender, tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. The medium to full-bodied palate is juicy and plush, featuring loads of fragrant earth nuances to back up the ripe red and black berry layers and bags of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. This is an effortlessly beautiful Saint-Émilion! This is a tiny 2.5-hectare vineyard in the Saint-Émilion foothills, situated west of Château Canon-La-Gaffelière in deep, sandy-clay soils.

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.

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.

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.

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.

94-97 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Clos de L Oratoire 2018 Saint Emilion

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Clos de L Oratoire 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Features seamlessly layered dark currant. fig and boysenberry fruit. infused liberally with a tobacco note and backed by a long. smoldering finish. Latent energy keeps this going. An impressive young wine.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Clos de L Oratoire 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Clos de l Oratoire is another stunning wine in Stephan von Neipperg s range. The greater presence of Cabernet Franc. along with a move towards earlier picking. no SO2 at crush and less oak influence are some of the factors that have completely transformed Clos de l Oratoire from the powerhouse it often was to a wine of total and exquisite finesse. Inky dark fruit. lavender. sage. and mint give the 2018 striking aromatic depth. but it is the wine total sense of harmony that impresses most. The 2018 is fabulous. That is all there is to it. Tasted two times.
