Beschreibung

Lisa Perrotti Brown 30. November 2018

Composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in 70% new French barriques. the 2016 Canon is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. and—WOW—it opens with the most stunning perfume of violets. red roses and kirsch. giving way to a core of black cherry preserves. chocolate box. licorice. warm plums and Chinese five spice plus an earthy waft of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied. the palate is completely filled with expressive. perfumed black berry layers accented by lively red fruits and exotic spices. supported by impressively fine-grained tannins and fantastic tension. finishing very long with jaw-dropping energy. Tasted three times. I had one opportunity to taste the 2015 and 2016 Canon side by side. While I love the bold. rich. seductive nature of the 2015. this 2016 kicks it up a notch in terms of polish. precision. depth and persistence. Most notably. the superbly ripe. exquisitely fine-grained tannins on this 2016 bring to the table a whole other level of sophistication. Bravo!

Neal Martin Verkostungsnotiz aus Januar 2019:

The 2016 Canon has the unenviable task of following the astonishing 2015. and it does a damn good job. even if it doesn’t reach the same ethereal heights. There is a pleasing strictness and poise on the nose; this is less immediate than the 2015. yet intellectual. a Canon that expresses its terroir rather than tons of fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. a fine bead of acidity. a smooth texture and a slightly savory but persistent finish. which feels a little plusher than the 2015. implying that this might drink a little earlier. But there is unquestionably immense breeding locked into this rejuvenated Saint-Émilion. which is now firmly ensconced among the top-flight Right Banks.

James Suckling im Februar 2019:

Complex aromas of blackberries. iodine. oyster shell and wet earth. Ever so perfumed. Full-bodied. yet reserved and tight with very silky tannins that are energized and minerally. Takes off at the end. The freshness lifts it. Try after 2024.

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Canon 2016 April 2017:
The 2016 Canon makes it a double slam-dunk for head winemaker Nicolas Audebert and his team. as it is the second of two ethereal wines that will put the estate right at the top of the Saint Emilion tree. This year is a blend of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc picked from 22 September until 10 October at 45 hectoliters per hectare. It delivers 14.02% alcohol and an IPT of 65. Matured in 65% new oak. it has a compelling bouquet with intense black cherry and blueberry fruit. a tincture of oyster shell. all with exquisite definition. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin. and again. there is stunning. almost ineffable precision. It is attired in a seamless texture with real density yet weightlessness on the finish. The persistence on the aftertaste is extraordinary. I composed this entire tasting note after spitting out the wine. but I can still feel my mouth tingling now. The 2015 was magnificent. but could this 2016 surpass that? "The 2016 is more Canon in style. more classic." commented Nicolas. and he could be right. although intuition tells me that the 2015 might be a hair's breadth better. I would not refuse either if they were opened before me.

Very intense aromas already of pure berry. mineral and spice. Full body yet refined and tight with gorgeous linear and refined character. Beautiful and classic beauty.

Chateau Pavie 2016 Saint Emilion

98+ Punkt vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Pavie 2016

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

The 2016 Pavie is simply magnificent. Gracious. perfumed and exquisitely beautiful. the 2016 has it all. I can't remember seeing a Pavie with this much translucent energy and nuance. Black cherry. plum. lavender. spice and menthol all infuse this explosive. young wine with tremendous character. In the glass. the 2016 is vivid. aromatically deep and full of saline-infused energy. It is without question one of the wines of the vintage. As it turns out Gerard Perse also opened the 2008. Although the two vintages (2016 and 2008) in question are quite different in style and quality. the trajectory Pavie has taken in recent years is evident. The 2016 is a thrilling wine. That's all there is to it. The blend is 60% Merlot. 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted two times.

James Suckling im Februar 2019:

Spectacular aromas of crushed berries. such as blueberries and raspberries. Fresh flowers with hints of sandalwood. Exotic. Saturated palate of so much fruit. yet remains agile and energetic. Great length and texture. Fills your mouth. This needs time. but a classic. Twin brother of the perfect 2015.

Lisa Perrotti Brown 29.03.2019

The 2016 Pavie a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color. it needs a little coaxing to begin. slowly unfurling to reveal a fragrant perfume of violets. chocolate-covered cherries. crushed blueberries and eucalyptus over a core of preserved plums. kirsch. black raspberries and crème de cassis plus hints of licorice and chargrilled meat. Full-bodied and built like a brick house. it has a solid foundation of firm. super ripe. grainy tannins and seamless freshness interknit with the black fruit preserves and minerally layers. finishing very long and very decadent. Superb!

Chateau Belair Monange 2016 Saint Emilion

Lisa Perrotti Brown 30. November 2018
A blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Belair Monange comes strutting out of the glass like a total rock star with gregarious red cherries. blackberries and warm plums scents plus hints of lavender. rose hip tea. powdered cinnamon. cigar box and camphor. Medium-bodied. it completely fills the palate with vibrant red and black fruit layers. framed by a firm backbone of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness. finishing long and perfumed.

97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Belair Monange 2016

Neal Martin im Januar 2019:
The 2016 Bélair-Monange is easily the most closed of all of J-P Moueix’s wines when I taste them together. It is stubbornly tight in the glass and then coquettishly unfurls mineral-rich red berry fruit mixed with rose petals; the perfume is captivating. The palate is well balanced. with velvety tannin and perfectly judged acidity. and very. very harmonious. More and more black fruit seems to join the chorus line toward the finish. which fans out gloriously. demonstrating superlative persistence. The best Bélair-Monange to date. and an accomplished. riveting Saint-Émilion. (tasted December 2018)

James Suckling Februar 2019:
Incredibly perfumed aromas of roses and violets. as well as blue fruit and lavender. Full-bodied and powerful. yet so full of finesse and vibrance. The height of elegance! Such depth of chalk and dark berries. It goes on for minutes. Drink after 2025.

Chateau Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse 2016 Saint Emilion

Lisa Perrotti Brown 30. November 2018
Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) slips seductively out of the glass with perfumed scents of candied violets. chocolate-covered cherries. lavender and baked plums with nuances of redcurrants. forest floor. mossy bark and new leather. Medium to full-bodied. the palate has bags of grace and finesse with a super fine-grained frame and lovely freshness lifting the intense. perfumed fruits to a very long. mineral-tinged finished. Gorgeous.

99 Punkte Vinous / Galloni für den Chateau Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse 2016 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni bewertet den BDHL 2016 im Januar 2019 wie folgt:
The 2016 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse has come together beautifully since I last tasted it. Nearly seamless in the glass. the 2016 is rich. unctuous and potent. with all of its elements in the right place. Nothing really sticks out. Instead. I am simply blown away by the wine's intensity. explosive power and overall pedigree. Time in the glass brings out hints of graphite. smoke. cured meats. licorice and dark spices. but it is the wine's balance that is most impressive today. In 2016. Nicolas Thienpont and his team crafted a Beauséjour of mind-boggling intensity and purity. Tasted three times.

James Suckling Januar 2019:
The aromas of mushrooms. tobacco. vine bark. stones and black fruit. It changes so quickly and then comes back. Full-bodied and remarkably balanced. concentrated and structured. Such precision and beauty. Try after 2024.

Chapelle d Ausone 2016 Saint Emilion

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
A blend of 56% Cabernet Franc. 22% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Sauvignon. the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Chapelle d'Ausone sings of black raspberries. kirsch and plum preserves with hints of unsmoked cigars. pencil lead. lavender and chocolate box plus a waft of garrigue. Medium-bodied and fantastically elegant in the mouth. the red and black fruit layers are beautifully framed by firm yet fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness. finishing long and minerally.

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:
Some gently smoky nuances with dark stones and a spicy edge to the ripe blackberries and plums that adds plenty of aromatic interest. The palate delivers a very succulent. smoothly rounded and attractive array of rich fruit in a lively. refreshing and expressively vibrant mode. A blend of 56 per cent cabernet franc. 22 percent merlot and 22 per cent cabernet sauvignon. Second wine of Ausone. Try from 2023.

Chateau Clos Fourtet 2016 Saint Emilion

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:
Love the dark-berry and intense black-olive and chocolate aromas that follow through to a full body and firm and chewy tannins that deliver a rich and delicious finish. Such polish and. at the same time. finesse. But one of the cellar. A blend of 90 per cent merlot. seven per cent cabernet sauvignon and three per cent cabernet franc. Try from 2022.

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:
The 2016 Clos Fourtet is vivid. explosive and simply captivating. Inky blue/purplish berry fruit. lavender. spice and white flowers are all vivid in the glass. but it is the wine's silky. seamless personality that elevates it into a place among the wines of the vintage. In 2016. Clos Fourtet is stunningly beautiful and utterly compelling. This is a tremendous showing from proprietor Matthieu Cuvelier and consulting winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt. Tasted two times.

Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2016 Saint Emilion

97 Punkte bei Vinous für den Larcis Ducasse 2016

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

The 2016 Larcis Ducasse is absolutely gorgeous. Fresh. vibrant and alluring. with tremendous vibrancy. the 2016 has so much to offer. Expressive savory and blood orange notes add brightness to the red cherry and plum fruit. with beams of firm yet well-integrated tannins that give the wine its shape and energy. In 2016. Larcis brings together undeniable raciness and power in a complete package that is irresistibly beautiful. Give it a few years in bottle for the tannins to soften.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Larcis Ducasse sashays gracefully out of the glass with beautiful Black Forest cake. red cherry compote. raspberry preserves and blackberry pie scents plus hints of cigar box. Ceylon tea. dried lavender and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied. the palate delivers gorgeous red and black fruit preserves flavors with a wonderfully plush texture and very long. perfumed finish.

James Suckling Februar 2019:

The aromas here are so spellbinding with shitake mushrooms. wet earth and moss. as well as tree bark and. finally. dark fruit. The palate is incredible as it builds and grows with full body. but always tight and reserved. It shows so much depth and complexity. Please try not to touch this until 2025.

Chateau Barde Haut 2016 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:
Readers will find a rich. flamboyant wine in the 2016 Barde-Haut. There is not a ton of subtlety here. but I am not sure that matters all that much given how immensely pleasing the 2016 is. Crushed rocks. graphite. lavender. blackberry. plum. and violet infuse a Saint-Émilion that offers tremendous textural richness as well as vibrancy. Most importantly of all. the 2016 is flat-out delicious. This is a decidedly opulent. dark Saint-Émilion with all of the elements impeccably balanced. I loved it.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
The 2016 Barde Haut is composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored. it gives up expressive wild blueberries. kirsch. baked plums and spice box notes with hints of cracked pepper. lavender. garrigue and Provence herbs. Medium to full-bodied and richly fruited in the mouth. the palate bursts with blue fruits. framed by firm. rounded tannins and seamless freshness. finishing long.

James Suckling Januar 2019:
This shows such complex and beautiful aromas of flowers. lavender. light spearmint and currants. Medium to full body. very fine tannins and a long finish. All about finesse and length. Drink after 2022.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pindefleurs im Januar 2019 wie folgt:
The 2016 Pindefleurs offers good immediacy in a ripe, racy yet mid-weight style. Sweet red cherry, new oak, spice and white chocolate add to the wine's distinctly flamboyant flavor and textural profile. Medium in body and wonderfully persistent, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Bright floral notes add perfume to this engaging, creamy Saint-Émilion. Élevage has done quite a bit to give the wine balance. Specifically. the oak is now far better integrated than it was en primeur. Tasted two times.

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Pindefleurs im April 2017:
The 2016 Pindefleurs is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It has a well-defined and harmonious bouquet that dishes out some wonderful black cherry and redcurrant fruit, the new oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, beautifully balanced with a structured, tobacco-tinged finish that is almost Médoc-like in style. This is a great Saint Emilion that is going places — a sublime follow-up to the outstanding 2015 Pindefleurs.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pindefleurs 2016 im Februar 2019:
Very attractive chalky aromas with bright plums and berries on offer, as well as a dense and juicy core of ripe raspberry and red-plum flavors, carried on smooth, sturdy tannins. A blend of 90 per cent merlot and ten per cent cabernet franc. Try from 2022.

BIO

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:
The 2016 Canon La Gaffelière is just as striking from bottle as it was from barrel. Bright. intensely aromatic and precise. the 2016 has it all. Sweet red cherry. pomegranate. blood orange and rose petal all race through this silky. super-expressive Saint-Émilion. In 2016. Canon La Gaffelière is especially polished. refined and nuanced. which means also less overly powerful than in the past. It was compelling both times I tasted it from bottle.

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:
The aromas are very complex with sweet tobacco. black truffles. blueberries and blackberries. Subtle. Menthol. too. Full-bodied yet so elegant. Structure with finesse and purity. The tannins are melted in the wine. Fabulous young wine. Try tasting it from 2023.

The 2016 Villemaurine is absolutely gorgeous. Powerful. ample and resonant. the 2016 is a beautifully intense. modern Saint-Émilion.

Villemaurine is terrific. Hubert de Boüard consults. Tasted two times.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
The 2016 Villemaurine is a blend of 80% Merlot an 20% Cabernet Franc aged in 80% new and 20% one-year-old barrels for 16 months.

Medium to full-bodied bodied. the mid-palate slowly builds into loads of spicy layers with a pleasantly chewy texture and a long mineral-laced finish. About 2.966 cases produced.

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:
This already has a very enticing nose of red and black berries with hints of smoke and licorice. A very elegant and beautifully balanced wine. in which the interplay of bright acidity. fine dry tannins and oyster-shell minerality is really fascinating. Very long. super bright finish.

Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2016 Pauillac

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:
The 2016 Pichon Baron is seamless and racy from start to finish. Sensual and super-expressive. with soft contours. silky tannins and exceptional finesse. Pichon Baron is one of the more accessible wines in its peer group today. Plum. mocha. leather. spice and chocolate all build effortlessly. As outstanding as Pichon Baron is. the 2016 gives the impression it is playing things safe. It would be nice to see a little more daring and risk.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Pichon-Longueville Baron offers a suave and seductive nose of warm red and black currants. black plum preserves. truffles. tapenade and rose hip tea with touches of sandalwood and Chinese five spice plus a waft of iron ore. Medium to full-bodied. firmly structured and packed with mineral and exotic spice-laced black fruits. it finishes very long with compelling herbal sparks.

James Suckling Januar 2019:
The concentration and largesse of the 2016 Pichon Baron is apparent from the get-go with incredibly alluring. ripe and expansive fruit aromas in the blackberry. dark-cherry. mulberry and plum zone. Espresso and cedar. as well as a slate-like. stony mineral edge add complexity. The palate has incredible depth. drive and detail. Fine and plush tannins stretch the palate in every direction. So fresh and vivacious. this is the greatest Pichon Baron since 1989 and has a long future. Try from 2024.

Vinous / Neal Martin Januar 2019:
The 2016 Pichon-Longueville Baron electrifies the olfactory sense with a stunning bouquet of intense blackberry. cedar and graphite aromas that are quintessential Pauillac. Over a few minutes. it blossoms in the glass. gaining more and more depth. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly tarry black fruit. cedar and truffle. dovetailing into a saline. peppery finish that leaves the tongue tingling. Christian Seely and his team have imbued recent vintages of this Pauillac with unerring symmetry. and the 2016 can be added to the canon of triumphs.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Haut Bailly 2016 im Januar 2019 wie folgt:
A big. vertical wine. the 2016 Haut-Bailly explodes onto the palate with tremendous depth and intensity. Readers should be in no rush to drink the 2016. as it won't be close to ready to drink for at least a decade. and I say that as an eternal optimist. Black cherry. smoke. tobacco. cedar. gravel and incense add to the wine's decidedly somber personality.

James Suckling im Februar 2019:
Wonderful aromas of tobacco. sweet fruit and licorice follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins that caress every inch of your palate. Love the length and subtlety to this young wine. Gorgeous. Drink after 2024.

97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Haut Bailly 2016 Pessac Leognan

Neal Martin im Januar 2019:
The 2016 Haut-Bailly was mightily impressive when tasted from barrel. Now. matured in 50% new oak and bottled at the end of April 2018 (they prefer to bottle before spring here). it has a very well defined bouquet of black fruit. graphite. crushed stone and light rose petal aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with quite grippy tannin. This Haut-Bailly feels pure and classic in style. offering well-judged acidity and a sophisticated. quite tensile finish that lingers long in the mouth. I suspect this might close down in a year or two and deserves perhaps 8 to 10 years in bottle to show what it can really do. The best Haut-Bailly in the modern era? For certain.

Chateau Pape Clement 2016 rouge Pessac Leognan

Lisa Perrotti Brown am 30.11.2018

Blended of 60% Merlot. 36% Cabernet Sauvignon. 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. the 2016 Pape Clement has a deep garnet-purple color and quite a serious. earthy nose with truffles. tilled soil. underbrush and smoked meats over a cassis. baked plums and redcurrants core plus a touch of lavender. Medium to full-bodied. firm and grainy. the palate is built like a brick house. supporting muscular black fruit and earthy notions and finishing very long and mineral laced.

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

The 2016 Pape Clément is fabulous. Racy and sumptuous in the glass. the 2016 captures the style that now characterizes Bernard Magrez's wines from his estate in Pessac. Specifically. the 2016 is wonderfully deep in the glass. and yet retains terrific freshness as well. A rush of dark cherry. plum. smoke. scorched earth. grilled herb. leather and menthol builds as the 2016 shows off its compelling. inviting personality. I would prefer to give the 2016 at least a few years in bottle to allow its full breadth of aromatics to develop. Even so. there is so much to like. Pliant. supple and super-expressive. Pape Clément is gorgeous in 2016. Tasted two times.

James Suckling Januar 2019:

Stunning concentration of perfectly ripe blackcurrants here with a delicate whiff of vanilla oak and extremely fine tannins that are almost perfectly integrated on the seductive and delicate palate. right through the almost literally breathtaking. super-long and very polished finish. Try from 2022.

Vinous / Neal Martin Januar 2019:

The 2016 Pape Clément bursts out of the glass. offering ripe blackberry. raspberry coulis. fresh mint and hints of licorice on the well-defined nose. It is perhaps a little more opulent than its peers. but unlike in the past. I don’t find it excessive. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin. There is a killer line of acidity and real panache toward a velvety. almost Pauillac-like finish armed with shimmering black fruit laced with graphite.

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019: 97
The 2016 Léoville-Poyferré is fabulous. Rich. ample and dramatic in bearing. the 2016 possesses striking intensity and vertical lift. The tannins certainly need at least a few years in bottle to soften. but there is so much to look forward to. Graphite. menthol. lavender and licorice complement the inky blue/purplish fruit beautifully. The bottled wine has a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon and less Merlot than the en primeur sample. I tasted the 2016 three times. It's least favorable showing was at the château. For readers and proprietors who think wines always taste better on site...they don't.

James Suckling Januar 2019: 97
Terrific intensity of dark berries. almost peppery blackcurrants and violets with attractive and integrated. spicy oak and an earthy edge. The palate has a super powerful and long. linear core with plenty of fruit flesh strapped in tight for a long and thrilling ride into the finish. A blend of 86 per cent cabernet and 14 per cent merlot. Try from 2024.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018: 97+
Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Léoville Poyferré hits the ground running with intense cassis. violets. dark chocolate. menthol and fragrant earth notions complemented by nuances of cigar box and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied. the palate is charged with energetic. super intense black fruit and floral layers. beautifully supported with super firm. ripe. grainy tannins and seamless freshness. This liquid is simply alive in the mouth. culminating in an epically long finish that will leave your mouth practically tingling. WOW!

Chateau Troplong Mondot 2020 Saint Emilion

William Kelley am 06.04.2023:
The 2020 Troplong Mondot may prove to be even better than the brilliant 2019, and it is one of the Right Bank's finest wines in this vintage. Unwinding in the glass with deep aromas of mulberries, blackberries and red cherries mingled with hints of rose petal, licorice and exotic spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a satiny attack that segues into a vibrant, polished mid-palate, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Having seen only 65% new oak and with malolactic fermentation completed in tank rather than in barrel, it's remarkably pure and seamless. With the 2020 vintage, this estate's stylistic redemption appears to be complete.

Jeb Dunnuck im März 2023:
A clear step up over the 2019, the 2020 Château Troplong Mondot is mostly Merlot yet includes 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, all of which was raised in 65% new French oak, with the balance in once-used barrels. The level of purity and finesse here is remarkable, and it reveals a deep ruby/purple hue as well as incredible aromatics of cassis, ripe black cherries, graphite, gunpowder, and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has building, perfectly ripe tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. Certainly light years away from the riper, more opulent style of the 2000's, the wines today under consultant Thomas Duclos are much more about finesse and elegance. While I certainly miss the sexy, riper style of the past, there is no denying the incredible quality from this château today.

98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Troplong Mondot 2020 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni im Dezember 2022:
Er beschreibt den Wein so wie man ihn kenn, viel dunkle Frucht, Power und Struktur, doch er weist ganz klar darauf hin, das der gravierende Unterschied zu den bisherigen Jahrgängen darin liegt, dass der Wein in 2020 eine vibrierende Säurestruktur besitzt und Tonnen an Mineralität mitbringt. Er gibt seinen Lesern noch mit auf den Weg, dass der Wein einige Zeit der Reife benötigt.

Chateau Branaire Ducru 2016 Staint Julien

Chateau Branaire Ducru 2016 Saint Julien

93+ Punkt vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Branaire Ducru 2016 Staint Julien

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:
The 2016 Branaire-Ducru is powerful. dense and explosive to a degree that is surprising for a wine that is typically much more sensual. There is lovely definition throughout. but readers will have to be patient to catch the 2016 at its very best. Hints of leather. smoke. tobacco and dried flowers begin to open up in the glass. but the 2016 is quite reticent at this stage. In two tastings I found the 2016 unusually closed. Needless to say. it will be interesting to see what time brings.

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:
The best vintage of this wine since 2009! Effusive. fresh redcurrant and cassis aromas give this St.-Julien terrific drive and energy. the elegant. dry tannins beautifully married to the medium body. right through the long. agile finish. Drink or hold.
