 BIO 
 
94 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Chateau La Lagune Haut Medoc 2020Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau La Lagune Haut Medoc 2020 :

The 2020 La Lagune has turned out beautifully, offering up aromas of cassis, dark berries, loamy soil and sweet spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety, layered palate that exhibits excellent depth and concentration structured around powdery tannins, concluding with a perfumed, violet-inflected finish. This is a strong effort and a worthy, somewhat more muscular follow-up to the sensual, charming 2019.
 
95 Sucklingpunkte für den Chateau La Lagune Haut Medoc 2020James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau La Lagune Haut Medoc 2020 Folgendes:

A focused and savory red with sleek and tight tannins. Very precise. Medium-bodied with fresh herbs, currants, blackberries and oyster shells. Stones and dried flowers, too. Fine finish. Tannins are round and complete. Already approachable. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after 2025. 
 
93 Punkte Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau La Lagune Haut Medoc 2020Smoky black fruits, tobacco, gravelly earth, and spicy oak all emerge from the 2020 Château La Lagune, one of the most concentrated, structured Haut-Médocs out there. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has terrific overall balance, building tannins, and a great finish. It needs to be forgotten for 4-5 years and will evolve for two decades or more if well-stored.

91 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Die Degustationsnotiz von Jeb Dunnuck zum Chateau Cantemerle 2020 Haut Medoc:
I continue to love the wines from Cantemerle, which is located in the Haut-Médoc. The 2020 Château Cantemerle is deeply hued with lots of Bing cherry, tobacco, and cedary notes that flow to a medium-bodied, elegant, yet concentrated 2020 with fine tannins and a great finish. Another classic vintage from this estate, this beauty is going to evolve for 15+ years if well-stored.
 
92 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für denDie Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Cantemerle 2020 Haut Medoc
Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Cantemerle reveals a great intensity and purity of blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums and black raspberry scents, plus hints of dried Provence herbs, Indian spices and woodsmoke. The medium-bodied palate delivers approachable chewy tannins and just enough freshness to support the savory-laced black fruit flavors, finishing with an herbal lift.
 
94 Sucklingpunkte für den Chateau Cantemerle 2020 Haut MedocJames Suckling beschreibt den Chateau Cantemerle im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Aromas of blackcurrants and kirsch with hints of dried blood orange, licorice and cocoa. Medium- to full-bodied with layers of well-integrated, finely polished tannins. Structured and toned with a fresh and lively fruit-forward palate, seasoned with spices and dried herbs. Lingering, chalky finish. Delicious now, but better after 2026.

92 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Clos Manou 2020 MedocWilliam Kelley schreibt zum Clos Manou 2020 Medoc Folgendes:
The 2020 Clos Manou has turned out brilliantly. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, spices and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, with a deep core of vibrant fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, violet-inflected finish. Seamlessly constructed, it's a terrific example of haute couture winemaking that would embarrass numerous classified growths.
 
91 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Clos Manou 2020 MedocJeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Clos Manou 2020 wie folgt:
Françoise and Stéphane Dief's 16.5 hectares of vines in the northern part of the Médoc were decimated in 2020 by frost, and their 2020 Clos Manou comes from dismal yields of just 26 hectoliters per hectare. The blend is 57% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. It has an incredible sense of minerality and almost salinity to go with impressive red and black fruits, notes of smoked tobacco and flowers, medium to full body, and integrated acidity. It's clearly an outstanding wine that's going to offer loads of pleasure over the coming decade or so.

Die Bewertung für den Chateau Dalem 2020 Fronsac vom Wine Cellar Insider lautet wie folgt.Jeff Leve im März 2023:

The floral bouquet is what you initially notice before moving on to its licorice, tobacco leaf, espresso, and chocolate-covered plum notes. On the palate, the wine is seductive with its silky textures, and opulent nature. In the finish, the wine feels as good on the palate as it tastes. This is in contention for the best vintage of Dalem I have ever tasted. Drink from 2023-2038.

A pretty deep and broad-shouldered Fronsac with impressive intensity. Nose has lots of blackcurrants, dark cherries, some cocoa powder and a hint of cigar box. Full-bodied on the palate with dense yet creamy tannins that will take a few more years to integrate. Lengthy and pretty plush. An outstanding Fronsac. Drinkable now, but better from 2025.

93 Always a winner, I can't remember the last vintage of this cuvée that didn't put a smile on my face. The 2020 Château La Vieille Cure has lots of up-front cassis and black cherry fruits to go with complex floral, lead pencil, and green tobacco-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, seamless, and elegant, it has the vintage's concentrated, pure style front and center. It will evolve for 10-12 years.

The classic 2020 Château Fontenil from this Fronsac château is a winner and well worth a case purchase. Giving up lots of spiced red and black fruits, smoked tobacco, and flowery incense notes, it's medium to full-bodied, has a round, supple, elegant texture, beautiful tannins, and nicely integrated oak. This sexy, seamless, straight-up impressive Fronsac will evolve for at least a decade.
 
92-94+ Punkte vom Wine Advocate für denChateau Fontenil 2020Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Fontenil 2020 Fronsac :
Opaque purple-black in color, the 2020 Fontenil needs a little swirling and coaxing to release opulent scents of plum preserves, blueberry compote and chocolate-covered cherries, plus suggestions of candied violets, ground cloves and fertile loam. The full-bodied palate is rich with generous black and blue preserves layers, supported by beautifully plush tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and fragrant.
 
90-92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Fontenil 2020Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Fontenil:
The 2020 Fontenil has a slightly candied quality on the nose of vibrant red fruit complemented by marmalade and orange zest. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity, good backbone and cedar-infused black fruit on the saline finish. This is a fine Fontenil, albeit one that deserves 3–4 years in bottle.

Chateau La Faurie Maison Neuve 2020 Lalande de Pomerol
Das Château La Mission in Lalande-de-Pomerol gehört seit mehreren Generationen zur Familie Garde-Lasserre, die auch Eigentümer von Clos René und Moulinet-Lasserre in Pomerol ist.

Die Merlots und Cabernets Francs befinden sich im südwestlichen Teil der Appellation am Rande der berühmten Pomerol-Appellation und sind auf einem ausgezeichneten Tonterroir mit eisenhaltiger und schlammiger Unterlage gepflanzt. Dank eines Durchschnittsalters der Reben von 40 Jahren und sorgfältigem Weinbau (manuelle Ernte) bietet das Château La Mission Weine mit Aromen reifer Früchte mit einem reichen, seidigen und charmanten Gaumen, der bereits in jungen Jahren zugänglich ist.

Der Name „La Mission“ stammt aus der Zeit der Kreuzzüge, als die Ritter auf ihrem Weg in weiter entfernte Länder des Mittelmeers durch die Region Pomerol zogen. Es war üblich, dass sie, als sie anhielten, vor dem Kreuz der Mission beteten, das noch auf dem Grundstück anwesend war.

Lots of red and black fruits, white truffle, spice, and some floral notes all emerge from this incredibly elegant, medium-bodied, finesse-driven 2020. It shows lots of limestone character, and I suspect it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age. It should evolve nicely through 2032.

The 2020 Château de la Rivière is perfumed on the nose and quite floral and pure, offering crushed violets and a hint of lavender that complements the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a crisp, smooth texture and just a nuanced sapidity on the finish that urges you to take another sip. This is a much better Château de la Rivière compared to the 2018.

The palate is medium-bodied and classic in style, with dry-ish tannins, but in no way austere; in fact, it displays fine depth and commendable salinity toward the finish. What they used to call "English gentleman’s claret," a.k.a. a good solid Haut-Médoc. Enjoy over 12–15 years.

87-89 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Joanin Becot 2020Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Joanin Becot:
The 2020 Joanin Bécot was affected by a hailstorm in May which resulted in some Cabernet Franc being parsed out from the blend, so this year there is half the normal production. It has quite a dense and quite earthy nose, introverted black fruit mixed with potpourri and traces of orange zest, the latter becoming more prominent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with dry, gritty tannins with a smudge of dark chocolate towards the sandy finish. It needs a little more flesh around the bones, but that should come during its barrel maturation.

Aromas of cassis, dark berries and cherries mingle with subtle hints of incense and spices in an inviting bouquet to introduce the 2020 d'Aiguilhe, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered wine with powdery tannins and the lively acids that are typical of this later-ripening, limestone-rich sector. Always a notable value, this age-worthy cuvée has turned out very well this year.
 
93 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau d Aiguilhe 2020 Cotes de Castillon Den Chateau d Aiguilhe 2020 Cotes de Castillon beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
From the up-and-coming Castillon region, just east of Saint-Emilion, the 2020 Château D'Aiguilhe has a floral, cassis, and black raspberry-driven style that shows more tobacco and classic limestone minerality with time in the glass. It's medium to full-bodied, has fine tannins, and the balance and class to evolve for 10-15 years. It's a seriously good Castillon, even better than the brilliant 2019.
 
92 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau d Aiguilhe 2020 Cotes de CastillonJames Molsworth beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Nicely rendered, with a very pure beam of cassis and cherry puree leading the way, infused gently with violet and savory accents. The fresh, focused finish is sneaky long. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2034. 20,000 cases made, 2,200 cases imported. –JM

A juicy red with blackberry, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Round tannins. Chewy at the end. Needs time to soften. Try after 2026.
 
90-92 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für denChateau Clos du Roy 2020Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Clos du Roy 2020 Fronsac :
Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Clos du Roy leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of black cherries, baked plums and mossy tree bark, with wafts of wild mushrooms and chargrill. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a rock-solid structure of grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the generous black fruit, finishing earthy.
 
87-89 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Clos du Roy 2020Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Clos du Roy:
The 2020 Clos du Roy has a fresh, well-defined blackberry and bilberry nose, subtle floral scents of iris flower and potpourri emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with an earthy, almost Left Bank-like entry, certainly one of the more structured and austere Fronsac wines. It just needs to develop more flesh on the finish.

James Suckling beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Fresh dark cherries and plums to the nose with some fine spices and hibiscus. This is simple yet crunchy and sappy on the palate, showing some nice, immediate appeal. Concise and fruity. Drink now.
 
90 Punkte von James Molsworth:
A fresh and unadorned style, this red offers a pure beam of damson plum and floral notes that are carried by fine, chalky minerality through the finish. Reveals a pretty tobacco echo. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030. 9,000 cases made, 4,500 cases imported. –JM
 
92-94 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für denChateau Dalem 2020Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau de la Huste 2020 Fronsac :
The 2020 de la Huste has a deep purple-black color, bursting from the glass with flamboyant notes of crushed blackberries, blueberry pie and ripe black raspberries, plus suggestions of violets, mocha and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of juicy black and blue fruits, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and impressive freshness, finishing long and perfumed. A beautiful powerhouse!

93 This shows aromas of blackcurrants and black cherries with cocoa, pine cones, toasted spices and nut shell. Medium-bodied with round and polished tannins and a fine texture. Some delicious fruit character coming through turning to a chalky and crushed stone yet juicy finish. Try in 2024.
 
87-89 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Senejac 2020Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Senejac:
The 2020 Sénéjac has a strong marine/seaweed nose that takes time to settle in the glass. Touches of black olive emerge with time, nicely defined and full of personality. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, quite edgy tannins on the entry, and graphite-infused black fruit dominates. Earthy and classic in style toward the conclusion. This is a decent, traditional Haut-Médoc, though it needs to fill out on the finish.
 
Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Senejac 2020 Haut Medoc :
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Senejac features notes of sour cherries, raspberry leaves and redcurrants with a waft of tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate is crunchy and refreshing, delivering red berry and herbal flavors with a chewy texture and short, uncomplicated finish.

Den Chateau Lanessan 2020 Haut Medoc beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Lanessan has a lively nose of crushed redcurrants, black raspberries and blackcurrant preserves, plus hints of dried Provence herbs and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate has plenty of energetic red and black berry flavors, supported by grainy tannins, finishing deliciously refreshing.
 
90-92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Lanessan 2020
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Lanessan:
The 2020 Lanessan presents a very perfumed nose of dark cherries, cassis, cedar and background tobacco aromas, turning quite minty with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a crisp line of acidity, plenty of tightly wound black fruit and a saline finish. This is a classy Lanessan, quite complex and intense yet refined.

Aromas of raspberries, crème de cassis, cigar wrapper and loamy soil introduce the 2020 La Tour Carnet, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and polished wine that's more harmonious and better balanced than Magrez's Grands Chênes. This large estate has eaten up many of the Haut-Médoc's non-classified growths over the past decade to arrive at a surface area of over 130 hectares today.
 
94 Sucklingpunkte für den Chateau La Tour Carnet 2020 Haut MedocDen Chateau La Tour Carnet 2020 Haut Medoc beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Tight and linear with blackcurrant and lemon rind character. Medium-bodied and racy with very fine tannins and a bright finish. Shows energy and focus. Drinkable, but better in three or four years.
 
91 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau La Tour Carnet 2020 Haut Medoc Den Chateau La Tour Carnet 2020 Haut Medoc beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
Almost always a winner, the 2020 Château La Tour Carnet offers a terrific, medium-bodied, concentrated style as well as classic notes of ripe currants, darker cherries, spicy wood, and graphite. It has the vintage's more focused, classic, structured style, with ripe tannins and outstanding length. It's well worth seeking out and is going to evolve for at least a decade.
 
90 Punkte vom Falstaff für den Chateau La Tour Carnet 2020 Haut Medoc Den Chateau La Tour Carnet 2020 Haut Medoc beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart blättrig, ein Hauch von Tabak, dunkle Waldbeerfrucht, etwas verhalten, zartes Nugat im Hintergrund. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerig, frisch, präsente, kantige Tannine, spröder Abgang, wirkt in dieser Phase recht unzugänglich, braucht Zeit und Luft.
