The blackberries. blueberries. oyster shell and violets are so mesmerizing. Full-bodied. focused and deep. It takes you to another space and plane. Dried flowers and dark fruit. The tannins are perfectly crafted. Keeps going as you taste it. Drink in 2023 but why wait?

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2015 Pomerol wie folgt:
The 2015 Vieux Château Certan is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel. Rich. sumptuous and explosive in the glass. the 2015 is pure class. The flavors are deep and boldly sketched in this sumptuous. spectacularly ripe Pomerol. Inky blue/purplish fruit. spice. lavender. licorice and menthol all develop in the glass. but it is the wine's textural richness and intensity that stand out most. As good as the 2015 is today. it is going to need at least 15-20 years to be at its very best. Is there anything more I can ask of the 2015? No. there is not. This is a tremendous showing.

Flaschenbewertung von Neal Martin 28.02.2018
The 2015 Vieux Chateau Certan was bottled in mid-May as usual. This was one of the wines of the vintage out of barrel. and now it has a compelling bouquet with blackberry. smoke and iris. There is wonderful delineation here. a cerebral bouquet that is quite mercurial in the glass. traces of black truffle emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and just a killer line of acidity. a Vieux Chateau Certan surfeit with energy and joie de vivre. It fans out in glorious. almost swaggering fashion with truffle and white pepper. a touch of truffle on the persistent finish. This is clearly destined to be one among the canon of legendary wines from the estate although it does deserve requisite cellaring. This is one of the wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2025 - 2055.

Den Vieux Chateau Certan 2015 Pomerol beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
I was able to taste both the 2015 and 2016 grand vins, and these are heavenly, magical wines that could not be any better. Starting with the 2015 Vieux Château Certan, it shows the opulent, flamboyant style of the vintage to a T and reveals a saturated purple/ruby color, a monster bouquet of blackberries, tobacco, kirsch, dried spices, and loamy earth, full-bodied richness, sweet tannins, and a finish that won’t quit. A thrill a minute, wine doesn’t get any better, and I only wish every reader could taste this beauty. Drink it any time over the coming 30 years or more.

Der Wine Spectator bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2015 Pomerol wie folgt:
Expressive and alluring aromas of warm plum reduction and boysenberry puree lead off here. followed by fleshy. seamlessly layered notes of blackberry. black currant. melted black licorice and smoldering tobacco. Shows a lovely tug of dark earth through the finish without sacrificing a sense of polish or giving ground to the waves of fruit. Displays terrific latent energy through the finish. Best from 2023 through 2040. 3.750 cases made. JM im März 2018

Neal Martin bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2015 im April 2016:
The 2015 Vieux Château Certan is a blend of 80% Merlot.. 19% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. cropped between September 17 and October 2 at 42 hectoliters per hectare. The IPT is healthy 83 and the pH is 3.72. the alcohol 14.6%. Enough statistics. What you need to know is that it is a beguiling Pomerol that will set hearts aflutter. It is bridled with a heavenly bouquet with intense red and black fruit. black truffle and a touch of smoke. opening wonderfully in the glass; the Cabernet Franc is very expressive and imparting a licorice note after ten minutes. The palate is medium-bodied with intensity. with a killer line of acidity that imparts freshness from the very start. There is life-affirming tension interwoven throughout this extremely complex wine from Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont. There are layers. more like a mille-feuille of blackberry. boysenberry. mineral. truffle and a touch of spice towards the finish. just a touch of warmth from the alcohol that merely complements an extraordinary and profound Pomerol.

IN DER RUHE LIEGT DIE KRAFT
80 % Merlot. 19 % Cabernet Franc. 1 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 42 hl/h. Sattes Purpur-Granat. dicht in der Mitte. lila Schimmer aussen. Der erste Nasenansatz hinterlässt deutlich florale Eindrücke. dahinter Pflaumen. Holunder und Heidelbeeren und eine schwarze Pfefferwürze aufweisend. Wunderbar anschmiegsamer Gaumen. verloursartige Textur. im Innern mit feiner Rasse im Extrakt. Bei längerem Gaumenkontakt zeigt er dann doch noch eine verlangende und potentialbietende Adstringenz. Das Finale ist fast nur noch schwarzbeerig. Ein grosser. möglicherweise bald einmal legendärer Vieux Château Certan. Die 14.6 Volumen gelten für einen VCC schon eher als Ausnahmefall.

This has the wow factor; it's very impressive. The nose is saturated with dark. rich plums and wet-earth aromas. not to mention the roasted-coffee and crushed-violet undertones.

The full-bodied palate is absolutely laden with taut. muscular black and blue fruits. with a solid frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness. finishing with languidly lingering licorice and spice flavors. Incredibly seductive and just plain delicious right now. hedonists can enjoy this captivating wine while it’s relatively young. while traditionalists can wait ten years and drink it over the next 25 years or more.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2015 am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

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!

Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:
The 2016 La Violette has an engaging bouquet of voluptuous black cherry. boysenberry and crème de cassis aromas. very pure but not as overpowering as in previous vintages. The palate is rounded and generous. displaying sensual tannin that imparts a velvety texture. It feels slightly lower in acidity than its peers. but there is impressive volume and density toward the finish. which coats the mouth with blue and black fruit. Decadent but with just the right amount of class to render this a quite delicious. sensual Pomerol.

Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2018 Pomerol

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:
98 Punkte

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.

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.

97 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2018 Pomerol

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.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

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.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau La Fleur Petrus 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

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.

The 2018 Certan de May is a blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2018 Château Certan De May has come together beautifully since I tasted it from barrel. This blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon is medium to full-bodied and has a rounded, fruit loaded texture, some background smoky oak, and a great finish. This pleasure- bent, ripe, sexy Pomerol is the finest vintage I've tasted to date. Drink bottles over the coming 15-20 years.

Clos L Eglise 2015 Pomerol

James Suckling bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2015 Pomerol:

This is a more layered and juicy wine with a soft and round tannin texture. Walnuts and chocolate. Full-bodied, gentle and welcoming to taste. Chocolate and coffee undertones. Subtle and lightly decadent. Better than I remember. Drink or hold.

Neal Martin bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2015 Pomerol im April 2018:

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Clos l'Eglise has a very earthy nose of black soil, truffles and mossy bark over a core of kirsch, blackberry preserves and dried mulberries with wafts of rose hips and oolong tea. Full-bodied, richly fruited and packed with savory layers, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy.

Rene Gabriel bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2015 Pomerol mit

Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Sehr dichtes Bouquet. wirkt noch leicht hölzern im Ansatz. es ist aber auch genügend Fruchtdruck vorhanden. Im Gaumen fest. stoffig. noch fein aufrauhend. da ist viel Material drin. nicht unbescheiden in seiner Extraktion. Ich hätte weniger Kraft und mehr Saft erwartet. Das Potential ist aber beeindruckend. Also; let's see in 10 years.

Lush in feel, with alluring crushed raspberry and plum fruit flavors, inlaid with a black tea hint. The fruit is quite showy, but this remains a bit shy on drive.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau La Violette 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 La Violette reveals delicate notes of rose hip tea, underbrush and wild sage to begin, opening out to Black Forest cake, plum preserves and blackberry pie scents plus wafts of cedar and cinnamon toast. Big, full and voluptuously fruited, it has a firm structure of plush tannins and background freshness, finishing opulent.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau La Violette 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2018 La Violette is a heady Pomerol. Crème de cassis, blueberry jam, licorice, lavender and menthol capture a striking interplay of unctuous richness and freshness. Soft curves and silky tannins add to the wine's pure appeal. Although not at all subtle, the 2018 is stunningly beautiful in a modern, sumptuous style that offers tons of immediacy. Hopefully the strong new oak signatures will integrate more fully during elevage und vergibt ihm 94-97 Punkte.

Exotic aromas of blackberries. truffle. earth and cedar follow through to a full body. rich and layered tannins and a long. long finish. Shows so much here. Exotic. Give it at least three or four years of bottle age. Exuberant. Try from 2023.

94 Punkte Vinous / Galloni für den Chateau Le Gay 2016 Pomerol

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:
The 2016 Le Gay is terrific. Rich. explosive and vertical in feel. the 2016 is a wine of pedigree and real class. Inky blue and purplish fruit. licorice. lavender all race across the palate. From bottle. Le Gay is more a wine of subtlety and vibrancy than pure power. As good as it is. my impression today is that the fruit is a bit dried out. I liked the 2016 more from barrel.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Le Gay has a rock star nose of flamboyant Black Forest cake. crushed redcurrants and lilacs scents with underlying nuances of yeast extract. wood smoke. iron ore and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied. the palate truly struts its stuff with generous black and red fruits and a fantastic line of super ripe tannins. building to a very long. seductively perfumed finish.

Vieux Chateau Certan 2019 Pomerol

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.
