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.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Certan de May 2015 Pomerol am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:
This has a darker sheen of fruits in the blackberry and blood-plum spectrum with sweetly spicy and earthy aromas and some violets to boot. The palate has quite a forthright tannin firmness. A very long. linear wine with a full body and a smooth. fresh. blueberry/plum finish. An impressive wine that rolls endlessly through the finish. This has plenty of ageing potential.Try from 2023.

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 palate has polished. lustrous appeal. and dark plums and ripe blueberry flavors abound. Long. deep-set tannins with incredible depth. This has x-factor depth and elegance. Best from 2025.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Hosanna 2015 am 21.02.2018 wie folgt:
A blend of 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc. the 2015 Hosanna had a medium garnet-purple color. charging out of the glass with an exotic perfume of smoked meats. truffles. sandalwood and Indian spices over a compelling core of cherry cordial. blackberry tart and blueberry compote plus suggestions of garrigue and rose hip tea. 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.

Chateau Trotanoy 2015 Pomerol

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!

James Suckling bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

Fantastic depth of fruit to this young wine with crushed-berry. tile and stone character. Full-bodied with superb structure. Polished yet intense tannins. Powerful finish. Best ever?

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2018 Clos l'Eglise is a final blend composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc; the Merlot was harvested September 19-20. and the Cabernet Franc was harvested on October 10. Deep garnet-purple colored. it explodes on the nose with bold. expressive plum preserves. blueberry compote. mincemeat pie and sandalwood with nuances of lilacs. woodsmoke. Indian spices and dusty soil. Full-bodied. rich. velvety and decadently fruited in the mouth. it offers layer upon layer of voluptuous fruit. finishing long and spicy.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2018 Clos L Eglise is a powerful. brooding wine with a huge core of super-ripe. dense fruit and equally imposing tannins. In 2018. heat and mildew impacted yields and resulted in a big. rich wine. Dark cherry. graphite. plum. mineral. spice and licorice add to an impression of brooding power. It will be interesting to see what elevage does here. Today. Clos L Eglise is a real powerhouse. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Le Gay 2019 Pomerol im Juni 2020:

Wow. Very focused and decadent with lots of crushed berry. coffee and chocolate character. It’s full-bodied. yet energetic and focused with chewy tannins. Big wine for the vintage. yet fresh and bright at the end.

94-96 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Le Gay 2019 Pomerol

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Le Gay 2019 Pomerol im Mai 2020:

The 2019 Le Gay has an unashamed old school Pomerol bouquet that I like. very terroir driven with loamy black fruit. touches of shaved black truffle and warm gravel. It is not a fruit-forward. sensual Pomerol - this is much more intellectual. like some of the older Le Gay that I tasted during the Robin sisters era. The palate is very well balanced with plenty of red fruit. structured like Le Gay usually is with brown spices and clove towards the persistent finish. It is one of the appelation's most fascinating wines and it should age with style.

8 Jan, 2022 – Rich and layered red with black olive and walnut on the nose, as well as blackberry. Full-bodied and powerful with superb depth and richness. Walnut and chocolate, too. Opulent, yet fresh. Try after 2026.

95 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Feytit Clinet 2019 Pomerol

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Feytit Clinet 2019 Pomerol:

The 2019 Feytit-Clinet is superb. In most vintages, Feytit-Clinet is one of the more intense and tannic Pomerols. In 2019, though, some of that intensity is dialed down. On the plus side, though, that means the 2019 will drink well with minimal cellaring. Inky dark fruit, licorice, graphite, lavender, dried herbs and rose petal build into the sumptuous, creamy finish. Usually I advise cellaring Feytit-Clinet, but that will be less necessary in 2019. As always, Feytit-Clinet is one of the most distinctive wines in the Right Bank.

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) beschreibt denChateau Feytit Clinet 2019 Pomerol:

The 2019 Feytit-Clinet has a stunning bouquet of pure red fruit, crushed stone and light rose petal scents; a hint of black truffle emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with good depth, the 70% new French oak a little more prominent than usual at the moment, though that will be subsumed with time. Very balanced and persistent, this is a bolder style of Feytit, but Jeremy Chasseuil pulls it off.

The aromas to this are stunning with lavender, rose petals, walnut skin, strawberries and raspberries. Captivating. Full body, layers of polished tannins and perfectly ripe fruit. Dense and very long. Breathtaking classicism. Try in 2021 and onwards.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den La Fleur Petrus 2015 Pomerol am 21.02.2018 wie folgt:

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

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

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

Chateau La Conseillante 2016 Pomerol

Lisa Perrotti Brown am 30.11.2018

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

97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau La Conseillante 2016 Pomerol

Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:

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

James Suckling Januar 2019:

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

Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol

James Suckling beschreibt den Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

Super nose of dried blueberry, black plum, walnut, myrrh and sandalwood. Lavender, violet, and chocolate, too. Ripe with wood now, but fresh. It’s full-bodied with firm, ultra fine tannins. Lots of dark spice is interlaced with the ripe fruit, giving this complex, perfumed character. Muscular, long and seamless with incredible depth and concentration. Reminds me of the great 2009, but this is better with more structure. Amazing wine. This is 100% merlot. Try from 2027.

99 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol

Antonio Galloni im März 2021:

The 2018 Trotanoy is a bold, powerful wine. In this vintage, some of the imposing structure that is such a Trotanoy signature has been replaced by super-expressive aromatics and striking detail. Dried herbs, iron, gravel and crushed rose petals all lend gorgeous savory nuance to a core of potent red berry fruit. Trotanoy is a Pomerol for those who can be patient. The 2018, though, is extraordinarily beautiful right out of the gate.

100 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck 99 für den Chateau Trotanoy 2018 Pomerol

11.03.2021 Jeb Dunnuck:

Another heavenly Pomerol in the vintage, the 2018 Château Trotanoy checks in as 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc brought up in (I suspect) lots of new French oak (although it's certainly not apparent). Revealing a dense purple hue as well as a smorgasbord-like bouquet of blackcurrants, dried flowers, cured meats, violets, tobacco, and chocolate, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a sexy, seductive texture, building yet sweet tannins, and just a rich, concentrated, yet flawless profile on the palate that's already impossible to resist. Nevertheless, a good 7-8 years of bottle age are warranted, and this magical elixir is going to evolve for 40 years or more.

31.03.2021 Lisa Perrotti Brown:

The 2018 Trotanoy is composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal a jaw-dropping perfume of Black Forest cake, black raspberries, blackberry pie and kirsch, followed by hints of cast-iron pan, violets, woodsmoke, Chinese five spice and eucalyptus, with a waft of tree bark. The full-bodied palate explodes with exotic spice and mineral fireworks, grounded by a concentrated, black and red berry preserves core and framed by firm, grainy tannins, finishing with epic length and depth. It will need a good five years in bottle to tame some of the youthfully overt, showy fruit and allow the mineral and earth nuances to emerge, then it should easily cellar another 35 years or more

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.

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.
