94 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Chateau Laroque 2018 im März 2021 wie folgt:

The 2018 Laroque is every bit as impressive as it was from barrel. Silky, polished and refined, the 2018 marks a major step forward for the château. Lavender, spice, blueberry, cedar and mint all grace a Saint-Émilion built more on finesse than power. The long, persistent finish, with its saline accents, adds to the wine's pedigree. The 2018 is beautifully done. The blend is 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Technical Director David Suire gave the 2018 lots 26-29 days on the skins fermented in cement, with manual pump-overs and punch-downs. New oak is 55%.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, spiced cherries, cloves, praline, tea leaves and crushed gravel. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins and fresh acidity. Fleshy, chewy layers lead to a long, mineral finish. Late bottling helped here. Try from 2023.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Laroque is composed of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new barriques. The alcohol is 14.5% and the pH is 3.48. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts from the glass with flamboyant notes of stewed black plums, Black Forest cake and boysenberries, plus hints of candied violets, star anise and unsmoked cigars with a playful waft of sassafras. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruits, supported by plush tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and fragrant.

96 Punkte bei Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion

Jeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru im April 2019 wie folgt:

This estate is in a cool, limestone terroir on the eastern side of Saint- Emilion, and it's been firing on all cylinders over the past decade, in no small part due to the talented director, David Suire. The 2018 Château Laroque checks in as almost all Merlot (there is 3% Cabernet Franc) that comes from an incredibly strict selection of just 41% of the total production. Brought up in a mix of new and used barrels, it's more about finesse than power, offering a gorgeous perfume of ripe black cherries, mulberries, cassis, violets, spring flowers, and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and incredibly elegant on the palate, it builds nicely with time in the glass, has ultra-fine tannins, flawlessly integrated tannins, acidity and fruit, and a great finish. It's as classy as they come. Approachable today with a decant, it will drink nicely for 20 years or more. Readers looking for an impeccably made, classic, high-quality Saint-Emilion that doesn't break the bank should back up the truck for this beauty.

Chateau Pindefleurs 2019 Saint Emilion

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.

90 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Pindefleurs 2019 Saint Emilion

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.

The 2018 Grand Mayne is deep garnet-purple colored and gives up a nose of baked blackberries, prunes and raisin cake with touches of dusty soil, sauteed herbs and fungi. Full and concentrated, with a firm, chewy texture, it delivers a spicy finish.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Grand Mayne 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Grand Mayne is creamy, resonant and beautifully layered. Black cherry, chocolate, sweet spice, licorice and new leather build in a deep, sumptuous Saint-emilion loaded with character. This is very nicely done.

Composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Poesia has a medium to deep garnet-purple color, exploding from the glass with bombastic notes of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and blueberry pie, plus hints of pencil shavings, kirsch, garrigue and Chinese five spice. The medium to full-bodied palate is beautifully balanced, featuring bags of bright, perfumed black fruit and cheery red berry sparks, supported by plush tannins, finishing long and mineral laced.

Den Chateau Poesia 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Very pretty blue fruit and black cherries, as well as chalk and stone. Medium to full body with fine, polished tannins and a long finish. Compact, fine texture. Drink in 2025 and onwards.

Chateau Grand Corbin Despagne 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru

BIO

William Kelley im April 2022:
From holdings just across the border from Pomerol characterized by predominantly sandy-clay soils, the 2019 Grand Corbin-Despagne offers up aromas of plums, sweet berries and cherries mingled with raw cocoa, cigar wrapper, licorice, violets and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent, with fine concentration, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins, it's a beautifully balanced classic that will age with grace. François Despagne is the seventh generation of his family to steward this 28-hectare Saint-Émilion estate, located just across the border from Pomerol, and he is intent on bringing it back to the heights of which anyone who has tasted vintages such as 1929 or 1961 know it is capable.

Returning to the estate after some years researching wine microbiology, he dug 150 soil pits—discovering that the historic delimitation of parcels on the estate corresponded precisely to the underlying geology. Soils are thin sand over blue clay, and replanting favors Cabernet Franc (with an in-house massale selection)—which represented about 60% of the surface area before the 1956 frosts and subsequent replanting. Despagne has converted to organic and biodynamic farming, reducing yields, and that is translating to new levels of depth and concentration. In the winery and cellar, however, the approach is rather classical, with a tendency to work more reductively and preserve better purity of fruit (Thomas Duclos consults), emphasizing seamlessness and depth over extraction and impact. This is an estate to watch.

James Suckling über den Chateau Grand Corbin Despagne 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:
This is a very salty and spicy red with ripe berry, cherry, chocolate and dried dark mushrooms. Chalky, too. It’s full and layered with chewy, velvety tannins and a fresh finish. Citrusy undertone. Better after 2025.

94 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Grand Corbin Despagne 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Grand Corbin Despagne 2019 Saint Emilion Grand Cru:
The 2019 Grand Corbin Despagne turned out beautifully. Readers will find a big, statuesque Saint-Émilion built on vertical energy. Black cherry, plum, graphite, spice, licorice and gravel lend nuance to this explosive, potent Saint-Émilion. Gravel, scorched earth, tobacco and incense lend gravitas on the substantial finish. This is an especially powerful, earthy Saint-Émilion. Quite simply, the 2019 is a flat out stunner.

Chateau Clos de L Oratoire 2018 Saint Emilion

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.

94-97 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Clos de L Oratoire 2018 Saint Emilion

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.

Chateau Alcee 2018 Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux

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!

98-99 Punkte bei James Suckling Chateau Cheval Blanc 2018 Saint Emilion

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Cheval Blanc 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

What strikes you is how aromatic this already is at this stage. Complex and decadent, showing lots of dark berries, smoked meat, wet earth, and dried leaves. Decadent. Full-bodied with very ripe and polished, velvety tannins. Great finish.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Cheval Blanc 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Thirty-three plots contributed to this wine, out of the 43 in production. Five went into Petit Cheval and five into bulk. The 2018 Cheval Blanc is a blend of 54% Merlot. 40% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, with a 3.75 pH and 14.5% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, the nose is more open at the core of the wine than the Le Petit Cheval, strutting out of the glass with bold, ripe black cherries, cassis, warm plums and raspberry preserves notes. With coaxing, a whole array of fragrant spice, floral and earth notes emerge, followed by candied violets, star anise, powdered cinnamon, iron ore, tapenade and truffles plus wafts of camphor and mocha. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firm yet possesses a beautifully plush structure of velvety tannins wrapping round the densely packed, complex, fragrant fruit, with seamless freshness and a very long, layered finish.

97-100 Punkte bei Vinous für den Chateau-Cheval-Blanc-2018-Saint-Emilion

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Cheval Blanc 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Cheval Blanc is dazzling. Creamy, supple and inviting, the 2018 is endowed with phenomenal balance. The tannins and overall structure are imposing and yet the richness of the fruit and perfect ripeness of the tannin really stand out. In 2018, Cheval is a bit richer than is often the case, but that is not at all a bad thing. I am struck by how much freshness and energy the 2018 has. Hints of lavender, spice and licorice add shades of nuance, but it is the wine's overall sense of harmony that leaves the strongest impression. A precise counterpoint of fruit richness and finesse makes for a truly unforgettable Cheval Blanc und vergibt ihm 97-100 Punkte.

Im Mund hat er viel Kraft. doch alles bleibt sehr vital und frisch. Sehr langes Finale! 96-98 Punkte.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Violets, blackcurrants, cloves, tobacco, orange zest and dark chocolate on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and fresh acidity. Sleek and refined with elegant floral and spice notes on a long finish. Interesting hint of bitterness at the end. Try from 2025.

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Sleek, pure, aromatic and streamlined version, with lovely cassis, cherry puree, violet and mesquite notes tightly wound together, while anise and savory hints peek in. Long finish is carried by chalky minerality. A wine of poise. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2024 through 2037. 5,500 cases made.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Pavie Macquin is a blend of 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly, sensuously unfurls to reveal a gorgeous perfume of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, baked plums and violets, with nuances of licorice, Indian spices and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has achingly plush tannins and fantastic freshness framing the spicy black fruit and mineral layers, finishing long and so, so fragrant. Wow—just stunning!

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Pavie Macquin was impressive out of barrel. It has retained its opulent bouquet, perhaps becoming even more luxuriant and plush, offering copious black cherries, cassis and violet aromas and hints of vanilla pod and iodine in the background. The palate is where this really impresses, because its opulence is effortlessly counterbalanced by a bead of acidity that imparts freshness and tension. This is a multilayered Pavie-Macquin endowed with tremendous length on the aftertaste. Even after 60 seconds I can still feel this Saint-Émilion lapping upon my senses. Superb.

mit 95+ Punkten von Jeb Dunnuck bewertet

Jeb Dunnuck im März 2023:

From an estate that has been on an incredible run of late, largely due to the talents of director David Suire, the 2020 Château Laroque shows the cooler, limestone-driven style of the terroir beautifully and has a clean, focused style in its darker (almost blue) berry fruits as well as chalky minerality, violets, spice, and floral nuances. Medium-bodied on the palate, this focused, straight, remarkably pure Saint-Emilion has terrific mid-palate depth and a great finish. It needs to be hidden in the cellar for a solid 4-5 years if possible and is going to have 30 years of longevity. If drinking any time soon, give it an hour in a decanter.

William Kelley im April 2023:

The 2020 Laroque has turned out nicely, bursting with aromas of cherries, minty blackberries, licorice and bay leaf. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with good depth at the core, chalky but refined tannins and a saline finish, it's another strong performance for this rising star of Saint-Émilion.

James Suckling im Dezember 2022:

Aromas of sweet berries with herbs, wet earth and moss undertones as well as fresh mushrooms. Medium- to full-bodied with ultra-fine and creamy tannins and a lovely finish. It’s polished and refined. Drink after 2025, but already very pretty.

Antonio Galloni ist im Dezember 2022 voll des Lobes für den JG 2020 des Chateau Laroque

Bitte kaufen Sie sehr selektiv 2021, aber lassen Sie Laroque nicht aus!

Dunkle reife Frucht, etwas sogar ins schwarzbeerige gehende. Ein paar vegetabile Noten zeigen sich, an rote Beete erinnernd, aber auch weisser Pfeffer, Cassis und ein touch Kaffee. Im Mund saftig und fleischig, gute Struktur, die Säure trägt ihn und verleiht aromatischen Lift. Gut gelungen und eine neue Facette, sehr spannendes Ergebnis. 92-94 Punkte

William Kelley im Februar 2024:

The 2021 Laroque opens in the glass with aromas of dark, minty berries, orange zest and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate with a sweet core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, mineral finish. This has turned out very nicely in bottle, and given its low-pH profile, it's likely to reward some bottle age. 92+

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.

92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Meyney 2019 Saint Estephe

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Meyney 2019 Saint Estephe:

The 2019 Meyney is a deep, powerful wine. It shows all the richness and intensity that are such signatures, but with that added kick of vibrancy that has become the norm in recent years. Tobacco, cedar, wild flowers, mint and incense add layers of nuance to a core of red/purplish fruit. The 2019 is beautifully done.

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Meyney 2019 Saint Estephe:

The 2019 Meyney has a well-defined, fragrant, floral bouquet of ample red currant and cranberry fruit, touches of pencil shaving and smoke emerging with aeration, followed later by the tertiary aspect that one associates with the appellation. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, black pepper and graphite, tightening toward the finish but still showing fine length. This is a very fine Meyney that may warrant a higher score down the line.

Chateau Meyney 2018 Saint Estephe

95 PUNKTE

Die Cuvee für den Jahrgang 2018 besteht aus 42% Cabernet Sauvignon. 40% Merlot und 18% Petit Verdot. Volle Konzentration mit leichter Aufhellung. Die Nase ist sehr betörend und verführerisch. reife Frucht. süssliche Würze. geröstete Nüsse. Sahnemokka. Am Gaumen super balanciert. dennoch stoffig und kompakt. überhaupt nicht anstrengend. Sehr sauberes und langes Finale. Für uns klar über 2014.2015 aber nicht an den Best Ever Meyney 2016. welchen wir noch vor der Primeurwoche im Glas hatten. da fehlt einfach ein gutes Stück.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Meyney 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

Blueberry, blackcurrant, clove, dark chocolate, praline and gravel on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Focused, chewy and layered. Fantastic effort here. Try from 2025.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Meyney 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Meyney gives up blackcurrants. black berries and plums on the nose with earth and spices plus fried herbs and lots of oak. The big. full-bodied palate has some promising fruit but is a bit hard and oaky.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Meyney 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt:

The 2018 Meyney is every bit as impressive as it was en primeur. Technical Director Anne Le Naour has done a terrific job in reining in some of the excess weight and power of previous vintages, but without sacrificing richness. Classy and layered, Meyney boasts fabulous depth and tons of character. Ripe red/purplish fruit, spice, blood orange, smoke and incense are some of the many aromas and flavors that mesh together. The 2018 offers striking immediacy, but also has enough structure to develop well in bottle for 15-20 years, maybe more. The 2018 Meyney is a wine of immense pleasure. Best of all, it is a tremendous value.

Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion

James Suckling über den Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion:

Blackcurrant, cherry and violet aromas follow through to a medium to full body with very well-integrated tannins that give a soft and creamy impression. Long and satisfying already, but needs another three or four years to come together. Try after 2023.

William Kelley im April 2022:

A terrific effort from an estate that was long one of Saint-Émilion's sleeping giants, the 2019 Laroque unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, licorice, loamy soil, rose petals and sweet tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with succulent aids, powdery tannins and a seamless, integrated profile. It's well worth seeking out.

Peter Moser im Februar 2022:

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Feine Edelholznuancen, floral unterlegt, zart nach Blaubeeren und Lakritze, Orangenblüten, facettenreiches, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, engmaschig, reife Herzkirschen, feine Fruchtsüße, reifes, tragendes Tannine, sehr gute Länge und Frische, ein Hauch von Honig im Abgang, mineralisch und anhaftend, sicheres Reifepotenzial.

94 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion

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

The 2019 Laroque captures all of the potential it showed as a young barrel sample. Succulent and racy to the core, with striking depth, Laroque is voluptuous, creamy and wonderfully inviting right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry fruit, mocha, spice, new leather, licorice and menthol build into the voluptuous finish. Laroque balances fruit intensity with energy. It is certainly impressive in 2019. Tasted two times.

Und Neal Martoin (Vinous) zum Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 Laroque has impressive transparency and focus on the nose, which is well-delineated and mineral-driven, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and fine grip, and lightly spiced with a touch of black pepper toward the finish. A superb Laroque from winemaker David Siure.

92 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion:

Still a touch reticent but it's all there, from the dark plum and warmed cassis notes to the underpinning of warm loam and sweet tobacco accents. Features fine-grained tannins, with good cut through the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035. 11,800 cases made, 1,840 cases imported.
