Wow. This really sends a tingle down my spine. Love the energy and length to this. Very distinguished. Full-bodied yet tight. polished and compressed. It has a great finish. Exciting. Really.






Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Trotte Vieille 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 TrotteVieille is a super-intriguing wine. Aromatically deep and layered. the 2018 offers tremendous depth and textural finesse.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Cote de Baleau 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

A silky and refined young St.-Emilion with crushed blueberries and blackberries. as well as some black-olive flavors. following through to firm tannins and freshness at the finish.








Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Cote de Baleau 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Cote de Baleau offers up notions of raisin cake. prunes and Chinese five spice with touches of tobacco and fallen leaves. Rich. full-bodied and very spicy in the dried berry-laced mouth. it has a chewy texture and lively lift on the finish.







Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Cote de Baleau 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Cote de Baleau is a very pretty. understated wine built on precision and nuance. Sweet floral and spice notes add character to a nuanced. pleasant Saint-emilion that will drink well pretty much on release. This is very nicely done. The purity of the flavors is striking. Tasted two times.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Saintayme 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

This is very perfumed with a firm and solid. stony tannin structure. Lovely. linear line through this. Full and tight at the same time.








James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Saintayme 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

Lively. featuring raspberry and red currant notes stretching out. with light floral and singed apple wood accents.








Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Saintayme 2018 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

Produced by Denis Durantou of Château L’Eglise Clinet. the 2018 Saintayme is made of 100% Merlot with 30% new oak and 14.5% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored. it bursts from the glass with plum preserves. crushed blackberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of lavender. unsmoked cigar and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied. the palate reveals beautiful freshness and elegance with soft tannins and loads of mineral sparks on the finish.






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

Denis Durantou's 2018 Saintayme is especially fine in 2018. Bright. floral and energetic. Saintayme really shines. In fact. I can't remember a recent vintage with this much finesse. The tannins need time to soften. but there is plenty of radiant fruit waiting to emerge. I won't be surprised if the finished wine is even better than this note suggests. Tasted two times.

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

This is very floral and beautiful with walnut. dark-berry and blueberry character. Hints of chocolate and tea. Full-bodied yet tight and silky. Long and consistent finish.








James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Fombrauge 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

A warm. inviting style. with crushed plum and boysenberry puree notes caressed by anise and singed apple wood accents. Shows nice drive on the finish.








Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Fombrauge 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Fombrauge is a knockout. Ripe. explosive and full of character. the 2018 is the sort of bottle that is opened and enjoyed in short order. Dark red cherry. plum. spice. new leather and espresso are kicked up a few notches in a sumptuous. racy Saint-emilion that hits all the right notes. Floral and spice overtones add perfume to this super-expressive. inviting Saint-emilion from Bernard Magrez. The 2018 is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted four times.






CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Fombrauge 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
Reife Nase. süsslicher Einfluss vom Holz. feine Vanille. am Gaumen saftig mit vollreifer Frucht. gute Länge.90-92 und vergibt ihm 90-92 Punkte.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Bellefont-Belcier 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Intense aromas and flavors of blue fruit and violets. Hints of green tea and black olives. Changes all the time. Medium-to full-bodied with polished and very silky tannins. Love the center palate. The finish lasts for minutes. This year. about one-third cabernet franc gives an edge to the merlot and the touch of cabernet sauvignon.







Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Bellefont-Belcier 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 Bellefont Belcier delivers profound notions of warm plums. baked cherries and mulberries with hints of spice cake and underbrush. Full-bodied. rich and decadent. it has a rock-solid backbone of rounded tannins and just enough freshness. finishing long and spicy. Aging is in progress for an anticipated 20 months in 40% new. 40% one year-old and 20% two year-old barrels. The blend is 70% Merlot. 25% Cabernet Franc. and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.






Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Bellefont-Belcier 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Bellefont-Belcier is dark. powerful and quite brooding. but also noticeably less extracted than in the past. Succulent dark cherry. plum. violet. lavender. graphite and spice all infuse this savory. virile Saint-emilion. All of the signatures are in place. but delivered with more nuance than was once the case. Consulting winemaker Thomas Duclos has ushered in quite a change at the property in his first vintage here. Tasted three times.






CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Bellefont-Belcier 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
Seine Farbe ist von mittlerer bis voller Dichte. zarte Aufhellung zum Rand hin. Man merkt ganz klar. hier wollte man in diesem Jahrgang nicht übertreiben. wahrscheinlich wird er im Ausbau noch etwas an Gewicht und Struktur hinzugewinnen. Gerade im JG 2018 war es ja keine Kunst zu weit in der Extraktion zu gehen. man hat es lieber bewusst zart vom Toastinggehalt belassen. wahrscheinlich schlummern noch ein paar Reserven an Presswein. um im Verlaufe des Ausbaus Verwendung zu finden. Die Nase zeigt ebenfalls eher eine hellere Fruchtprägung. Im Mund besitzt er schon genügend Frische und Eleganz. Erstaunlich ist. dass der Bellefont nicht ganz in der Stilistik der Nachbarn weitermacht. die direkten Nachbarn Larcis Ducasse und Fonplegade haben zur Zeit deutlich die Nase vorn. auch wenn Sie etwas kräftiger in der Ausrichtung daher kommen. So haben beide etwas mehr Dichte. mehr Fokus. mehr Mitte. Zudem beweist Fonplegade aufs neue. seinen unglaublichen Gegenwert. Er kostet deutlich weniger als die Hälfte eines Larcis. Auch der Nachbar Bellefont selbst verlangt etwas mehr. und vergibt ihm 91-93+ Punkte.

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

Made of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Franc-Mayne gives up notions of baked plums. warm black and red cherries and blueberry compote with touches of cedar chest. bay leaves and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied. it has plenty of juicy fruit in the mouth with a rounded tannin texture and fantastic freshness. finishing earthy.






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

The 2018 Franc Mayne is gorgeous. Fresh. bright and nuanced. the 2018 has terrific balance. In this vintage. Franc Mayne is silky and polished. with more of an emphasis on understatement rather than power. Sweet red cherry. plum. mint and white pepper grace this very pretty. expressive Saint-emilion. Franc Mayne is one of the jewels of Saint-emilion in 2018. Tasted two times.

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

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.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Barde Haut 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Gorgeous purity of fruit in this wine with depth and beauty. Full-bodied. It really grows on the palate with a hyper fine tannin texture.








James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Barde Haut 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Very juicy. with lots of blackberry and black currant compote flavors. The ample toast has yet to be fully soaked up. with notes of licorice root and singed apple wood jutting out. A bit chewy on the finish. Slightly unbridled today. but if this rounds into form it will be a real winner.







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

The 2018 Barde-Haut is a final blend composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color. it sashays sensuously out of the glass with effortless baked blackberries. preserved plums and blueberry pie notes plus hints of incense. powdered cinnamon. cigar box and star anise. Full-bodied and packed with spicy black and blue fruits. it is beautifully textured with firm. velvety tannins and just enough background freshness. finishing very long and seductive.






Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Barde Haut 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Barde-Haut is a rich. heady wine. Crème de cassis. blackberry jam. chocolate. leather and spice race out of the glass in this flamboyant. exotically ripe Saint-emilion. There is no shortage of stuffing. but the wine needs time to come together. Specifically. the new oak needs to integrate more fully. but this is a barrel sample. and it is not uncommon to see wines at this stage showing this way. The more exotic side of the vintage is very much on display. The harvest ranged from September 29 to October 12. which is relatively drawn out by the estate's standards.

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.








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.

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

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 Villemaurine rolls sensuously out of the glass with notes of plum preserves. blueberry pie and Black Forest cake with touches of underbrush. spice cake. star anise and unsmoked cigars plus a hint of potpourri. Full-bodied. the palate is jam-packed with rich. seductive fruit. framed by plush tannins and lovely freshness. finishing long and layered. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Aging is expected to be for 14 months in oak barriques. 75% new.






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

This is really fantastic with density and richness and lots of minerality. Full-bodied. layered and extremely long. This has so much density and agility in the center palate. Better than 2015 and 2016?

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

The blackberry and blueberry character is impressive on the nose with some licorice and graphite. Salty. Full-bodied. tannic and velvety. Powerful finish. Chewy. Best Faugères ever?








James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Ripe. with crushed plum and boysenberry puree notes. yet fresh. showing good lift throughout. A swath of roasted apple wood flavors on the finish needs to get soaked up. but there's enough depth of fruit for that.







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

The 2018 Faugères. which was harvested beginning September 25. is composed of 85% Merlot. 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored. it slips sensuously from the glass with notions of blackberry compote. wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly with hints of cardamom. cigar box and dusty soil plus a waft of star anise. Full-bodied and built like a brick house. it has a firm backbone of rounded tannins with bold freshness and loads of black fruit preserves layers. finishing long and spicy.






Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Faugeres is fresh. lively and quite deep. with a striking interplay of floral top notes and rich. layered fruit. I sense a shift towards a more refined style. Even so. there is plenty of the depth and textural richness readers have become accustomed to. Dark red fruit. espresso. cedar and dried flowers add lovely shades of aromatic nuance as well as energy. The 2018 is beautifully rendered. The blend is 85% Merlot. 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Proprietor Silvio Denz and consulting winemake Michel Rolland turned out a gorgeous Faugeres in 2018. My only real critique is that Faugeres and the pure Peby Faugeres are more closer in style than they usually are. which is remarkable as the blends are totally different! Tasted three times.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

A very fresh and beautiful wine with extremely fine tannins that melt nicely into the pure fruit. Medium to full body. Crisp and very fruity. Wonderful finish that lasts for minutes. It grows in stature at the end.







James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Juicy and forward in feel. with fresh plum. blackberry and anise notes. Dense. but still silky and refined in feel. revealing a long mineral echo through the finish. This is so pure. it seems almost too easy to drink already. just as you realize how ridiculously long it is.







Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Beau-Sejour Becot is composed of 80% Merlot. 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Merlot was harvested on September 12-25. and the Cabernet varieties were harvested on October 4. 5 and 10. Yields were 46 hectoliters per hectare. and it is anticipated that the wine will age for 16 months. Sixty-five percent of the wine will be matured in new barriques. while 35% will be aged in vats. amphorae and large oak casks of 20-hectoliter capacity. Deep garnet-purple colored. it leaps from the glass with bold. expressive notions of stewed plums. blackberry pie and Black Forest cake with nuances of menthol. mocha. molten licorice and wild sage plus a waft of lavender. Full-bodied. the palate is laden with latent energy. offering slow-releasing glimpses at dark. seductive berry preserves layers and vibrant earthy accents. framed by firm. grainy tannins and seamless freshness. finishing long and mineral laced.



Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Beau-Sejour Becot is fabulous. Dense. rich and explosive. the 2018 has it all. Soaring aromatics and a huge spine of tannin give the 2018 its regal contours. The 2018 was barreled down late. and it is still coming together. especially in its aromatics. but its potential is evident. A wine of tremendous character and personality Beau-Sejour Becot dazzles in 2018. It is an utterly captivating Saint-Emilion from Juliette Becot and Julien Barthe. along with their consulting winemaker Thomas Duclos.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

This is one of the best wines I have had from here. Full-bodied yet focused and super dynamic. Tight and linear with fantastic length and energy at the end. Exciting.








James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Dark plum and boysenberry fruit is laced with tobacco and chalk notes. while the fleshy grip slowly builds through the finish. This is seriously long. and though the fruit is gorgeous. the minerality steals the show in the end.







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

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 Clos Fourtet is a little youthfully mute to begin. With coaxing. it opens out to notes of crushed blackberries. warm black plums and wild blueberries plus suggestions of forest floor. lavender. baking spices and potpourri. Full-bodied. the palate has an amazing texture of soft. plush tannins and oodles of freshness supporting the layer upon layer of berries and spices. finishing long and fragrant. Total time in barrel should run 16 months in 60% new and 40% one-year old barriques. The blend is 90% Merlot. 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc.





Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Clos Fourtet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

One of the wines of the vintage. the 2018 Clos Fourtet is positively stunning. In the glass. the 2018 sizzles with tension and energy. A whole range of floral. mineral and red berry notes develop. but it is the wine's exceptional sense of harmony that leaves the deepest impression. Consulting winemakers Stephane Derenoncourt and Jean-Claude Berrouet turned out a glorious Clos Fourtet in 2018. Don't miss it. The blend is 90% Merlot. 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times.

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

This is a fantastic young Bordeaux with superb depth of fruit and complex tannin structure. Hints of smoke. spice and toasted oak. Full body and firm. dusty tannins. Very long finish.








James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Valandraud 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

This is richly fruited. with waves of fleshy raspberry. boysenberry and red currant cruising through. inlaid with singed vanilla and apple wood notes along the way. Shows density and cut through the finish. with a tug of tobacco at the end. This is dialed up to 11.







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

Deep purple-black in color. the 2018 Valandraud develops slowly from a base of warm black cherries. blackberry compote and preserved plums with a perfume of sandalwood. Indian spices. lavender. wilted roses. mocha and fruitcake plus wafts of woodsmoke and camphor. Full-bodied. the palate is rich. ripe and flamboyant with tons of opulent black and blue fruit layers. wonderfully curtailed by a firm frame of velvety tannins and fantastic freshness. finishing very long and very seductive.






Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Valandraud 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Valandraud is magnificent. Unctuous and super-concentrated on the palate. the 2018 possesses off the charts richness. Crème de cassis. bittersweet chocolate. hard candy. lavender. menthol. licorice. mint and dark spice all meld together. The 2018 is quite shut down at this stage. which is probably a good thing for its long term prospects. The blend is 90% Merlot. 4% Cabernet Franc. 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Malbec. This is the first time since the early 1990s that Malbec has appeared in the blend. Yields came in at 48 hectoliters per hectare. a touch above the 45 or so that is more customary here.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Troplong Mondot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The focus to this wine sets a new standard for Troplong Mondot with density and minerality that I have not encountered for decades. Lots of slate and white-pepper character. Tight and very dense. Full body. Balanced. Wild mineral character and freshness here. Precise.







James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Troplong Mondot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

This offers a lovely display of boysenberry. cherry and plum fruit. yet stays refined and focused. relying on purity as this glides through. Has weight but feels silky. with a flinty mineral hint adding cut on the finish.







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

The 2018 Troplong Mondot is blended of 85% Merlot. 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. with 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.56. Deep garnet-purple in color. it begins slowly with bold. bright black raspberries. ripe black plums. fresh blackberries and Morello cherries notes. giving way to underlying scents of tobacco. wild sage. Sichuan pepper. black olives. truffles and Marmite toast with hints of crushed stones and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied. the palate offers wonderfully fresh. energetic black fruit with a downright racy line of freshness (uncommon for this vintage) and firm. rounded tannins. finishing long with lots of mineral. earth and dried herbs layers giving beautiful electric sparks.





Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Troplong Mondot 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Troplong Mondot is a remarkable wine. All the elements fall into place in a stunning. aromatically intense Troplong Mondot that is full of character. There is a level of precision and vibrancy in the 2018 that is simply breathtaking. Black cherry. raspberry. mocha. flowers. mint and spice all meld together in this captivating. arrestingly beautiful Saint-emilion. New oak is 60%. with lower toast levels than what was common just a few years ago. The blend is 85% Merlot. 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.

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

This shows beautifully sensibility of generous fruit and soft and velvety tannins with an undertone of chocolate and cedar. Full-bodied. pure and supple with a direct delivery of vibrant fruit and real terroir expression. Savory at the end with hazelnut and crunchy-seed flavors. Reality check here. Incredible fruit quality. und vergibt ihm 99-100 Punkte.







James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Angelus 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Very gutsy in feel. with lots of tobacco leaf. loam and espresso notes swirling around a core of steeped black currant and warm fig fruit flavors. The muscular finish is a jumble right now. but there's ample acidity coiled within. A wine that clearly wants to stand out from the pack.







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

“This year we have slightly less Cabernet Franc in the blend because we are only using the oldest vines. planted by my grandfather. as a tribute.” Stephanie de Boüard-Rivoal said. “These are 60- to 80-year-old Cabernet Franc vines.” From 2018. 10% of the entire Angelus crop will be aged in large oak foudres. “These produce tighter. more perfumed. brighter wines from less oxygen exposure.” Stephanie commented. The 2018 Angelus is blended of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. to be aged 18-22 months in barriques. 100% new. plus two new foudres. Deep garnet-purple in color. it slips slowly. sensuously out of the glass with beautiful black raspberries. kirsch. warm plums and red roses scents. building in intensity to reveal chocolate-covered cherries. raspberry coulis. black tea. woodsmoke and powdered cinnamon notions with a waft of black olives and charcuterie. Medium to full-bodied. the palate delivers a wonderfully profound. multilayered. seamless experience of red and black fruits intertwined with earth. spice and floral notions and framed by exquisitely ripe. satiny tannins. finishing with amazing freshness and length. Incredibly. finely. expertly. seamlessly knit. Stunning.


Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Angelus 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Angelus is a fabulous wine from the de Bouard family. Often much more severe when it is young. the 2018 possesses stunning depth and remarkable finesse. I don't think I have tasted a young Angelus with this much finesse. In this vintage. Angelus is 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. which is to say more Merlot and less Franc than in the past. which may or may not represent more of a longer term shift. To be sure. the 2018 is glorious. with generous. pliant fruit and silky tannins that add to its considerable allure. Creme de cassis. new leather. spice and licorice build into the striking finish. What a wine.





CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Angelus 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
Cuvee:65 Merlot / 35Cabernet Franc Mittlere Dichte. nicht zu konzentriert. schöne intensive Nase. die Cabernetwürze kommt sehr gut durch.

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.




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.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Quinault L Enclos 2018 am 11.04.2019 wie folgt: 

This is the best Quinault ever for me with beautiful density and depth of fruit. Full body. velvety tannins and a long and intense finish. Lots of fruit. but the tannins hold it together.








Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Quinault L Enclos 2018 im April 2019 wie folgt: 

This a very gravelly soil with great drainage. but not a lot of water during dry periods. Adeptly produced by the team of Cheval Blanc (who purchased the estate in 2008). the wine nonetheless maintained its poise under the dry. warm ripening conditions of 2018. coming in at a respectable pH of 3.67 and relatively moderate alcohol of 14.1%. The 2018 Quinault l Enclos is blended of 70% Merlot. 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc with 50% new oak and the rest in one-year-old barrels—but only 500-liter and foudres. Deep purple-black in color. it slips seductively out of the glass with notions of warm plums. blueberry preserves and mulberries with touches of spice box. tilled soil. black olives and licorice plus a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied. the palate is laden with muscular black fruit and licorice sparks. framed by rounded tannins and just enough freshness. finishing with a peppery kick.



Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Wein im Mai 2019 wie folgt:

The 2018 Quinault L Enclos is impressive. Creamy and ample. the 2018 stands out for its textural breadth. There is a level of intensity in the 2018 that previous vintages have not achieved. with a balance of Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that is striking for such a young wine. All of the work the Cheval Blanc team has done here over the last ten years have begun to pay off big time. Half of the property was replanted between 2008 and 2012 with more Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc from Cheval and Merlot on later-ripening rootstock. In the glass. the 2018 Quinault offers a striking interplay of floral and savory aromatic and layered fruit. with ripe. silky tannins that caress a core of plush. plaint fruit and a gorgeous. saline-infused finish. There is a level of precision in the 2018 that is positively breathtaking.




CB Weinhandel Beschreibung Quinault l Enclos 2018 Saint Emilion:
Cuvee: 71.5 Merlot / 14.5 Cabernet Franc / 14 Cabernet Sauvignon. Mittlerer bis voller Körper. fruchtbetonte Nase. mit klaren Beerennoten. kaum Holz. etwas grünliche Würze. aber reif. Im Mund deutlich kraftvollerer Eindruck. sehr intensive Frucht. zum Glück genügend Frische. Die Holzwürze macht sich im Finale bemerkbar. Schöne Länge. Kommt nicht ganz an den tollen 2015er ran. ist aber auch ein ganz anderer Stil des Jahrgangs. 90-92+
