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 Laforge 2019 Saint Emilion:

19 Jan, 2022 – Lots of lovely fruit and freshness in this red with blackberry and cherry character, medium body and a round, juicy finish. Very attractive already. Drink after 2023.

 

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

The 2019 Laforge has really filled out nicely. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, tobacco, licorice and lavender build beautifully with some aeration. The 2019 is sumptuous, bold and racy, Laforge is an absolute joy to taste today. This flamboyant, racy Saint-Émilion will be a jewel to drink now and over the next few years.

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

A tangy and tight red with blackberry and black-olive character. Hint of dark chocolate. Medium to full body and firm. tight tannins. Fresh and energetic dark fruit.

 

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.

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.

 

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.
 

Der Chateau du Glana 2019 Saint Julien am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezenter Ockerrand. Reife Pflaumen, eingelegte schwarze Kirschen, zarter Nougattouch, frische Mandarinenzesten. Saftig, elegant und ausgewogen, gut eingebundene Tannine, schokoladig-mineralischer Touch im Abgang, bleibt haften, verfügt über sicheres Reifepotenzial.
 

James Suckling über den Chateau Haut Brisson 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:

19 Jul, 2021 – Blackberries and fresh herbs with some dried soil and bark on the nose and palate. Medium to full body with fine, polished tannins and a long, racy finish. Really polished and precise. Drink after 2024

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Haut Brisson 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:

The 2019 Haut-Brisson is elegant and understated. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, mint, blood orange and licorice open nicely, followed by sweet floral accents that add lift. There is a bit of graininess in the tannin that lurks in the background. Otherwise this is nicely done.

 

Und Neal Martin (vinous) zu Chateau Haut Brisson 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:

The 2019 Haut-Brisson has a forward, vivacious bouquet of vibrant black fruit, still showing the subtle fish-scale scent that I noticed from barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip and a nicely proportioned finish that will require three or four years to absorb the oak.

 

Der Chateau Haut Brisson 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Rauchig-kräuterwürzig unterlegte schwarze Waldbeerenfrucht, Brombeeren, Lakritze, feiner Edelholztouch, etwas Nougat. Komplex, saftig, reife Kirschen, feine Tannine, gute Frische im Abgang, ausgewogen und bereits gut entwickelt, schokoladiger Anklang, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial.
 

Lisa Perrotti-Brown über den Chateau Alcee 2018 Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux (April 2021):

Composed of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Alcee charges out of the gate with bold notions of stewed black cherries, blackberry preserves and fruitcake, plus hints of cinnamon toast, licorice and tobacco leaf with a waft of camphor. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of ripe black fruit flavors with a velvety texture and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy.

 

James Suckling im März 2021 zum Chateau Alcee 2018 Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux:

Black cherries, blueberries, dried leaves, praline and some tar on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, broad tannins. Structured and concentrated. 96% merlot and 4% cabernet franc. Better from 2023.

 

Neal Martin schreibt im Januar 2021:

The 2018 Alcée, the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux from Nicolas Thienpont, has a rather thick, dense bouquet of opulent blackberry and cassis fruit. It is certainly the most sumptuous of Thienpont’s wines this vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that frame layers of tar- and tobacco-infused black fruit. Dichotomous to the nose, the finish comes across as structured and a little more austere in style. I appreciate the focus and spiciness of this Alcée, which deserves 2–3 years in bottle. Very fine, if a bit like a jigsaw puzzle: you have to put it together in your mind!
 

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.

Sehr gute Konzentration. zarte Aufhellung zum Rand hin. Die Nase ist superklar. tief und fein. nichts überladenes. tolle Harmonie. Am Gaumen straff. saftig. sehr klare Frucht dunkle kleine Beeren. Kirsche. mineralische Salzigkeit im Finale. BALANCE 94-96

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Les Gravieres 2020 Saint Emilion :

Made from 100% Merlot, the 2020 Les Gravieres has a deep purple-black color, rolling out of the glass with ready-for-business scents of plum preserves, baked black cherries and blueberry pie, plus hints of violets, clove oil and camphor, with a waft of tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers velvety tannins and a lively backbone to support the generous black and blue fruits, finishing long and spicy.
 

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Les Gravieres 2020 Saint Emilion:

The 2020 Les Gravières is a powerful, bold Saint-Émilion loaded with intense mineral and savory notes that play off a core of inky dark fruit. Blueberry jam, gravel, smoke, lavender, licorice and cloves add gravitas. Les Gravières is another impressive wine in the trio of 2020s I tasted from proprietor Denis Barraud. I very much like the vibrancy and tension here. Tasted two times.

Vibrant. featuring racy raspberry and cassis notes. flecked with violet and mineral accents. Long and very pure. Don't sleep on this one.

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.

 

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.

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.
 

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:

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.
