Chateau Pindefleurs 2018 Saint Emilion

Jeb Dunnuck im Januar 2019:

Deeply colored, the 2018 Château Puy-Blanquet checks in as 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from a 20-hectare parcel of clay and limestone soils. Beautifully ripe and sexy, with a massive bouquet of blackcurrants, macerated black cherries, and smoked earth, it's full-bodied, opulent, and layered on the palate, with serious fruit. This brilliant wine will be approachable in its youth yet also evolve gracefully for 15 years or more. It should also be an incredible value.

 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Puy Blanquet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

A red with lots of richness and density and flavor. Full body. plenty of round tannins and a long and flavorful finish.


 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Puy Blanquet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Puy-Blanquet is a rich. creamy and sensual wine with tremendous near and medium term appeal. In 2018. Puy-Blanquet is especially lush. almost shockingly so. for a Saint-emilion that is usually quite classic in feel. Inky red and purplish berry fruit. spice. rose petal and mint build as this silky. pliant Saint-emilion shows off its racy. inviting personality. Don't miss it.
 

James Suckling über den Chateau Pindefleurs 2019 Saint Emilion:

13 Jan, 2022 – This shows beautiful density and focus. Medium-to full-bodied palate with a solid core of fruit and a walnut, spice and sweet-tobacco aftertaste to the plums and cherries. Subtle and nicely structured. Drink after 2025.

 

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

The 2019 Pindefleurs is plump, juicy and easygoing, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, tobacco and leather are nicely pushed forward. Soft, polished tannins and bright acids on the finish round things out nicely.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Pindefleurs 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 Pindefleurs is what you might call a "useful" Saint-Émilion. It has a well-defined, expressive nose of vivacious red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, full of joie-de-vivre. The palate is medium-bodied and quite sweet, with fleshy ripe tannins and flavors of raspberry, black currant and white pepper. The slightly spicy finish demonstrates admirable structure.

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.
 

Für diesen Wein nehmen wir nun noch gerne Ihre Vorbestellung entgegen.
Die Auslieferung wird dann im ersten Halbjahr 2022 erfolgen.

 

Christian Balog beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:

Cuvee: 71.5 Merlot / 14.5 Cabernet Franc / 14 Cabernet Sauvignon. Mittlerer bis voller Körper. fruchtbetonte Nase. mit klaren Beerennoten. kaum Holz. etwas grünliche Würze. aber reif. Im Mund deutlich kraftvollerer Eindruck. sehr intensive Frucht. zum Glück genügend Frische. Die Holzwürze macht sich im Finale bemerkbar. Schöne Länge. Kommt nicht ganz an den tollen 2015er ran. ist aber auch ein ganz anderer Stil de Jahrgangs. 90-92+ Punkte

 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Quinault L Enclos 2018 am 11.04.2019 wie folgt: 

This is the best Quinault ever for me with beautiful density and depth of fruit. Full body. velvety tannins and a long and intense finish. Lots of fruit. but the tannins hold it together.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Quinault L Enclos 2018 im April 2019 wie folgt: 

This a very gravelly soil with great drainage. but not a lot of water during dry periods. Adeptly produced by the team of Cheval Blanc (who purchased the estate in 2008). the wine nonetheless maintained its poise under the dry. warm ripening conditions of 2018. coming in at a respectable pH of 3.67 and relatively moderate alcohol of 14.1%. The 2018 Quinault l Enclos is blended of 70% Merlot. 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc with 50% new oak and the rest in one-year-old barrels—but only 500-liter and foudres. Deep purple-black in color. it slips seductively out of the glass with notions of warm plums. blueberry preserves and mulberries with touches of spice box. tilled soil. black olives and licorice plus a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied. the palate is laden with muscular black fruit and licorice sparks. framed by rounded tannins and just enough freshness. finishing with a peppery kick.

 

Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Wein im Mai 2019 wie folgt:

The 2018 Quinault L Enclos is impressive. Creamy and ample. the 2018 stands out for its textural breadth. There is a level of intensity in the 2018 that previous vintages have not achieved. with a balance of Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that is striking for such a young wine. All of the work the Cheval Blanc team has done here over the last ten years have begun to pay off big time. Half of the property was replanted between 2008 and 2012 with more Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc from Cheval and Merlot on later-ripening rootstock. In the glass. the 2018 Quinault offers a striking interplay of floral and savory aromatic and layered fruit. with ripe. silky tannins that caress a core of plush. plaint fruit and a gorgeous. saline-infused finish. There is a level of precision in the 2018 that is positively breathtaking.

Für den Wine Advocate bewertet William Kelley den Chateau Sociando Mallet 2019 Haut Medoc:

Notes of minty cassis, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, deftly framed by toasty new oak, introduce the 2019 Sociando-Mallet, a medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine that’s incipiently complex and elegantly muscular in profile. The style of the vintage has lent this more youthful polish than is sometimes the case, and it will offer a broad drinking window.

 

James Suckling über den Chateau Sociando Mallet 2019 Haut Medoc:

17 Jan, 2022 – Redcurrants with sweet tobacco, hazelnut, mint and moist earth, following through to a medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and a palate that grows at the finish. Needs a minimum of three or four years to come around. Try after 2025.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Sociando Mallet 2019 Haut Medoc:

The 2019 Sociando-Mallet has gained composure since I tasted the barrel sample. Now it has engaging red and black fruit, cedar and freshly rolled tobacco scents, focused and quite vigorous. The palate is structured, with firm grip, very well-judged acidity, good substance and a cohesive, black-pepper- and pencil-lead-tinged finish that has real length. Top-drawer Sociando-Mallet.

 

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

The 2018 Grand Mayne is deep garnet-purple colored and gives up a nose of baked blackberries. prunes and raisin cake with touches of dusty soil. sauteed herbs and fungi. Full and concentrated. with a firm. chewy texture. it delivers a spicy finish.

 

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

The 2018 Grand Mayne is creamy. resonant and beautifully layered. Black cherry. chocolate. sweet spice. licorice and new leather build in a deep. sumptuous Saint-emilion loaded with character. This is very nicely done.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

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.

 

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.
 

James Suckling über den Chateau de Pressac 2019 Saint Emilion:

16 Feb, 2022 – Very beautiful aromas of redcurrants and ripe plums with bark and moss, following through to a medium to full body with firm, creamy tannins and hints of salt and fresh herbs. So attractive now, but much better in 2025 and onwards.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau de Pressac 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 de Pressac is just as compelling from bottle as it was from barrel. A complex, mesmerizing wine, Pressac offers up an exotic mélange of black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice, spice and menthol. All the elements are so well balanced. Espresso,, lavender, dried rose petal and cedar linger on the complex, beautifully delineated finish. The 2019 is seriously impressive. It's as simple as that.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau de Pressac 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 Château de Pressac has an intense bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and light cedar aromas, touches of mint coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and quite edgy, showing a cheeky touch of Earl Grey toward the finish. It needs time but has the substance to age well in bottle.

 

Der Chateau de Pressac 2019 Saint Emilion am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Tabakig-würzig unterlegte schwarze Waldbeeren, dunkle Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Velour, Feigen, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, komplex, feine Pflaumenfrucht, feine, gut integrierte Tannine, süß und anhaftend, gute Länge, salziger Nachhall, sicherer Entwicklungspotenzial.
 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Fonbel 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

A juicy and rich young wine with lots of fruit and density. Round and soft tannins with hints of freshness at the same time.


 

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

Made up of 70% Merlot. 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Carmenère. the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Fonbel gives up spicy notes of Sichuan pepper. cinnamon stick. cloves and fenugreek with a core of warm red and black cherries. mulberries and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied. the palate has wonderful freshness and a soft. creamy texture supporting the vibrant red and black fruit preserves flavors. finishing with a peppery lift.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Fonbel 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2015 de Fonbel is a gorgeous entry-level wine in the Vauthier family's range. Plush. succulent and inviting. the 2018 radiates with striking fruit density. Soft curves and silky tannins give the wine's its pure appeal. Sweet floral and spiced notes add complexity. but more than anything else. Fonbel stands out for its glorious fruit and allure. Exotic spice and black pepper notes from the Carmenère are laced into the finish I loved it.
 

James Suckling über den Chateau Pindefleurs 2019 Saint Emilion:

13 Jan, 2022 – This shows beautiful density and focus. Medium-to full-bodied palate with a solid core of fruit and a walnut, spice and sweet-tobacco aftertaste to the plums and cherries. Subtle and nicely structured. Drink after 2025.

Liebe Kunden. darf ich Sie auf dieses wirklich verführerische Fläschchen Bordeaux einladen?

Als sich mir die Möglichkeit bot, den schon als ausverkauft geglaubten 2012er Pindefleurs nachzukaufen, habe ich nicht gezögert die nun wirklihch letzten Kisten für Sie zu kaufen. Denn wie es in Kennerkreisen bekannt ist, sind im Jahrgang 2012 wirklich schöne Käufe zu machen. Ein grosses Plus ist die sofortige Trinkreife beim Pindefleurs 2012. Er geizt nicht mit schöner reifer dunkler Kirschfrucht, einem sanften und reifen Tannin, mit langem Ausklang. Er passt extrem vielseitig zu vielen Fleischgerichten, zu gereifteren Bergkäsen oder zur Schinken und Dauerwurstauswahl, und Ihre nächste Grillparty wird er mit Leichtigkeit wollüstig begleiten.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Belle Vue 2018 Haut Medoc wie folgt:

Dark cherries, blueberries and herbs on the nose. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins. Juicy, yet structured. Flavorful finish with pretty length. Clean. Try after 2024 ...

 

Jeb Dunnuck bewertet den Chateau Belle Vue 2018 Haut Medoc wie folgt:

Another great estate that consistently produces an impressive wine, the 2018 Château Belle-Vue is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Petit Verdot (this estate likes Petit Verdot), and the balance Cabernet Franc and Carménère. Possessing a beautiful elegance and purity, it's medium-bodied, with a great core of cassis and black raspberry fruits as well as loads of floral nuances. Silky, beautifully balanced, and layered, it's another 2018 that has a cool climate-like style in its aromatics yet has a solid core of sweet fruit. I suspect it's the finest vintage I've tasted from this domaine (the 2016 is in the same realm), and it's going to evolve for 15+ years.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Belle Vue 2018 Haut Medoc wie folgt:

A blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carménère, aged for approximately 14 months in oak, 30% new, the 2018 Belle-Vue reveals pretty notions of crushed blackberries, mulberries and boysenberries, plus suggestions of underbrush, ground cloves and menthol. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled and refreshing, delivering bags of crunchy black fruits and a soft texture, finishing with a minty kick. It has 14% alcohol.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Belle Vue 2018 Haut Medoc wie folgt:

The 2018 Belle-Vue is racy and exotic to the core. Sweet red berry fruit, flowers, mocha, dried herbs and gravel meld together effortlessly. The 2018 is a bit closed today, but it offers terrific persistence and tons of personality. All the elements are impeccably balanced.
 

"This rich wine is built by generous tannins and dense black-plum fruits. A hint of dark chocolate offers depth and an edge of extraction that does not detract from the delicious ripe fruitiness. Drink from 2023." Editors Choice. Roger VOSS

Platz 16 in der TOP 100 Liste für das Jahr 2019

 

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

The 2016 Cambon La Pelouse is a wine of real depth. power and flavor. Super-ripe dark cherry. plum. leather. tobacco. cedar and earthy notes are all laced together in this punchy. expressive Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois. Once again. Cambon Le Pelouse over delivers. It should drink well for the next decade-plus. Tasted two times.

 

James Suckling Januar 2019:

Very classic Haut-Médoc with tons of blackcurrants and blackberries. Yet there’s rather classic balance with elegant. moderately dry tannins and a long. clean finish. A blend of cabernet sauvignon. merlot and petit verdot. Drink or hold.

 

Vinous / Neal Martin Januar 2019:

The 2016 Cambon La Pelouse has a classic. nicely detailed bouquet with blackberry. briary. autumn leaves and cedar aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. very harmonious and cohesive with supremely well judged acidity that lends the finish a silky smooth. gently grippy finish that bodes well for the future. Excellent. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London.
 

Der Jahrgang:
2017 wurde offiziell als "sehr gut" eingestuft mit Trauben, die bis zum Ende der Ernte einen ausgezeichneten Gesundheitszustand aufweisen.

Weinbereitung und Reifung:
Gärung mit einheimischen Hefen in Eichenfässern. Reifung für 24 Monate in Eichenfässern aus der hauseigenen Küferei. Vor der Flaschenabfüllung wird der Wein mit frischem Eiweiß geklärt. Nach der Abfüllung wird er mindestens 12 Monate lang in den Kellern der Bodegas abgerundet.
 

Weinbeschreibung:
Der Bodegas Muga Reserva 2017 Rioja ist der Einstieg in die Weine der Bodegas Muga. Das Credo ist, moderne Weine von höchster Qualität zu erzeugen und dabei zwar auf Fortschritt zuzugreifen, aber nie die Tradition und die Authentizität der Weine Riojas zu vernachlässigen. Dieser Reserva zeigt eine attraktive, mitteltiefe, rubinrote Farbe mit einigen ziegelroten Schimmern. In der Nase zeigen sich köstliche Aromen von roten und schwarzen Früchten wie Blaubeeren, Pflaumen und Waldfrüchten, zusammen mit Noten von Lakritz und Schokolade. Am Gaumen ist der Wein mittelgewichtig und zeigt eine schöne Balance mit Noten von gerösteten Kaffeebohnen, reifen Früchten, seidigen Tanninen und einem langen Abgang.

 

Lius Gutierrez bewertet den Muga Reserva 2017 im Oktober 2020 wie folgt:

The red 2017 Reserva, which is sold as Crianza in Spain, is their most popular wine, representing half of the total production of the firm. As is the norm here, it fermented in oak vats and matured in barrels, in this case for 24 months, crafted by their own coopers. The wine is fined with egg whites and kept in bottle for a further 12 months before it's released. I had the wine in the glass for a very long time, and it didn't stop improving; it started a little lactic and creamy, and then it got more and more serious. This is the only red they produced this vintage, so all the best grapes that normally go to other wines were used here; those selected grapes helped to keep the volume of this cuvée, and at the same time, it seems to have boosted the quality of this wine, which feels every bit as good as the 2016. It has a serious palate with fine, chalky tannins and very good balance. This is a textbook Muga red and a triumph over the conditions of the year, elegant and balanced, approachable now and with potential to age. In 2017, they produced 936,000 bottles of this wine.

 

James Suckling bewertet die Muga Reserva 2017 im Januar 2021 so:

Lovely, succulent red with juicy berries and plums, together with some chocolate, spice, walnut and cedar. It’s medium-bodied with round tannins and a flavorful finish. Touch of dried fruit in the center palate. A pretty combination of savory and fresh-fruit character. Some orange peel as well. A baby Prado Enea. Drink now.
 

Unsere Neuerscheinung im Margaux-Portfolio
Eine Perle von gerade mal etwas mehr als 2 Hektar Weinbergen.

Christian Balog beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:

Der 2016er La Fortune besteht aus 58% Cabernet Sauvignon und 42% Merlot. Für mich ist dieser Wein eine kleine Sensation. Die Entdeckung machte ich auf einer Weinmesse, hier wo man wie ein kleines Trüffelschwein von Stand zu stand schlendert und auf eine AHA-Erlebnis im Glas lauert. Dieses Erlebnis stellte sich zum Glück beim La Fortune 2016 ein, gerade noch rechtzeitig um auch direkt eine kleine Menge des 2019 zu sichern. Der Geschmack ist für mich etwas untypisch Margaux, denn man hat in der Nase zwar diese satte dunkle Fruchtaromatik von Kirsche, Waldbeeren und auch florale Anklänge, aber was dem Wein so eine zusätzliche Komponente verleiht ist dieser Schoko und geröstete Nüsse Touch, nicht nur in der Nase!

Auch am Gaumen spielt er seine Reize voll aus, die Fruch ist sehr schön präsent und die Tannine sind stützend, seine feingliedrige Säure vermählt sich schön mit einer steinigen Mineralität. Der Wein ist nicht überladen aber er lässt auch nichts vermissen, tolle Neuentdeckung und wir freuen uns von nun an immer auf ein paar wenige Flaschen dieses Weins, denn die Produktion ist nie sehr gross. Gerne verleihe ich diesem Wein 93 Punkte und finde das gebotenen Preis Genussverhältnis sehr ansprechend.
 

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Labegorce 2018 Margaux wie folgt:

Cuvee: 50 Cabernet Sauvignon 44 Merlot 3 Cabernet Franc 3 Petit Verdot Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 20. September und 15. October Schöne röstige und zugleich fruchtige Nase. Etwas Mokka und süsse Kirsche. Am Gaumen saftig und frisch mit tollen Zusammenspiel der Komponente. Sehr klares und sauberes Finish. Die Tannine sind reif und tragen den Wein im langen Finale. Nach wie vor ein grandioser Weinwert. Auch in 2018 ändert sich daran nichts.94 Punkte..

 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Labegorce 2018 Margaux wie folgt:

This is a plump and rich Labégorce with a full body. juicy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Lots of pure and intense fruit.


 

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Labegorce 2018 Margaux wie folgt:

Silky and refined in feel, with perfumy black currant paste, plum reduction and blackberry compote notes forming the core while sandalwood, black tea and cedar accents drape the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Labegorce 2018 Margaux wie folgt:

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Fontenil hits the ground running with vivacious notes of baked black plums, stewed black cherries and black raspberry preserves, followed by hints of molten licorice, ground cloves and sandalwood. The rich, full-bodied palate (15% alcohol) is jam-packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice accents, framed by plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Labegorce 2018 Margaux wie folgt:

The 2018 Labégorce is a plump, juicy Margaux that will drink well right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, licorice, chocolate and new French oak are all kicked up in this decidedly opulent, heady Margaux. Soft curves and pliant fruit add to its raciness. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

 

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Labegorce 2018 Margaux wie folgt:

The 2018 Labegorce has a very seductive bouquet of pure black cherries, blueberry and crushed floral scents. This is one of the more precocious 2018 Margaux, revealing an increasing floral element with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit laced with tar and licorice. Very cohesive, tightening up toward the finish, which retains fine nuance and mineralité.
 

Schöne dunkle Farbe mit violetten Reflexen, die Nase ist fein, geprägt von reifen Früchten, schwarzbeerig. Der Holzeinsatz ist sehr gut integriert und wirkt stützend. Die Tannine sind saftig und zugänglich der Chateau de Haute-Serre besitzt feine Finesse und Harmonie. Er wird mit etwas Flaschenreife gut zulegen und ohne Probleme die nächsten 6-8 Jahre Trinkfreude bereiten.
