Vieux Chateau Certan 2017 Pomerol

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2015 am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

Breathtaking aromas of perfectly ripe fruit with blackberries. black olives. licorice. cedar and sweet tobacco. Full body. incredible depth and power. yet this is always in reserve and check. Everything is in the right place for this new legend from Trotanoy. Try it in 2026. Will age for decades in the future.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2015 am 21.02.2018 wie folgt:

Composed of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. the 2015 Trotanoy reveals a medium to deep garnet-purple color and comes prancing out of the glass with the most striking black fruit preserves. plum pudding. red currant jelly and blueberry compote notions. followed up by nuances of rose petals. chocolate box. licorice and menthol plus a waft of wild mushrooms. Full-bodied. rich and decadent. it fills the palate with generous perfumed black and blue fruit layers with a seductive frame of velvety tannins and seamless freshness. finishing very long and very minerally.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Trotanoy 2015 aus Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2015 Trotanoy is very clearly one of the wines of the vintage. In 2015. Trotanoy captures all the intensity of the year in its ample. full-bodied frame. and yet there is more than enough structure. energy and minerality to play off the wine's more overt leanings. A rush of black cherry. plum. graphite. leather. smoke and game punctuate the huge. tannic finish. What a wine!
 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Hosanna 2015 am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

This has the wow factor; it's very impressive. The nose is saturated with dark. rich plums and wet-earth aromas. not to mention the roasted-coffee and crushed-violet undertones. The palate has polished. lustrous appeal. and dark plums and ripe blueberry flavors abound. Long. deep-set tannins with incredible depth. This has x-factor depth and elegance.
Best from 2025.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Hosanna 2015 am 21.02.2018 wie folgt:

A blend of 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc. the 2015 Hosanna had a medium garnet-purple color. charging out of the glass with an exotic perfume of smoked meats. truffles. sandalwood and Indian spices over a compelling core of cherry cordial. blackberry tart and blueberry compote plus suggestions of garrigue and rose hip tea. The full-bodied palate is absolutely laden with taut. muscular black and blue fruits. with a solid frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness. finishing with languidly lingering licorice and spice flavors. Incredibly seductive and just plain delicious right now. hedonists can enjoy this captivating wine while it’s relatively young. while traditionalists can wait ten years and drink it over the next 25 years or more.


 

James Suckling bewertet den La Fleur Petrus 2015 Pomerol am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

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

 

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

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

 

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

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

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Certan de May 2015 Pomerol am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

This has a darker sheen of fruits in the blackberry and blood-plum spectrum with sweetly spicy and earthy aromas and some violets to boot. The palate has quite a forthright tannin firmness. A very long. linear wine with a full body and a smooth. fresh. blueberry/plum finish. An impressive wine that rolls endlessly through the finish. This has plenty of ageing potential.

Try from 2023.

The 2015 Certan de May is composed of 80% Merlot. 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Cabernet Franc. displaying a medium garnet-purple color and nose of warm red cherries. mulberries. crushed red and black plums and raspberry leaves with nuances of wild thyme. dried roses. cloves and eucalypt. Medium to full-bodied and boasting great harmony in the mouth. the palate delivers loads of red and black fruit layers interspersed with floral and herb accents and framed by a firm. ripe. fine-grained backbone. finishing with wonderful length and freshness.

Haut Tropchaud 2018 Pomerol
100% Merlot gewachsen auf 2 Ha in unmittelbarer Sichtweite zu Le Pin und Vieux Chateau Certan. Mittlere bis volle Dichte. im Kern schwarz. schöne satte Frucht in der Nase. sehr feine Kirsche. auch hier wurde der Neuholzanteil zurückgefahren. trotzdem findet man diese zart süsslichen Anklänge wieder. Am Gaumen mit Kühle. sehr gute Harmonie keine Spur von Hitze. polierte Tannine. wieder diese unglaublich mineralische Frische. die nur dieses Terroir im Pomerol bieten kann. Würde man in die Wertung das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis einfliessen lassen. so müsste man deutlich höher punkten.

So ist und bleibt Haut Tropchaud 2018 auch in diesem herausfordernden JG eines der unglaublichsten Schnäppchen.
93-95+ Punkte

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Certan de May 2017 Pomerol im Dezember 2019:

There’s a striking sense of deeply ripe plums on the nose. as well as notes of forest wood. black truffle. wet earth and sous bois. The palate has regal tannin shape and texture. Quite powerful but supple. the tannins carry long and fresh with ripe dark-plum flavors. Try from 2022.

 

Antonio Galloni im März 2020:

The 2017 Certan de May is a powerful. dense wine. Graphite. smoke. grilled herbs and dark red and purplish fruit confer a real sense of gravitas that also comes through in the wine's unctuous fruit and overall richness. The 2017 packs a serious punch. that is for sure. Although not the last word in finesse. Certan de May offers plenty of richness and body. It is one of the bigger Pomerols of the year. I would give the 2017 a few years in bottle to allow the tannins to soften.

 

16.03.2020 Lisa Perrotti Brown

The 2017 Certan de May is a blend of 60% Merlot. 35% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color. the wine charges out of the gate with bold expressions of preserved plums. blueberry compote and redcurrant jelly plus nuances of pencil shavings. forest floor and truffles. Medium-bodied. the palate delivers elegantly played black fruits and earthy accents with a lovely frame of fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness. finishing with a quiet intensity.
 

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:

The 2016 L'Eglise Clinet has a medium to deep garnet-purple color with aromas of warm black cherries. mulberries and Black Forest cake slipping seductively from the glass plus nuances of rose hip tea. baking spices. fragrant soil and fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied. it's wonderfully elegant in the mouth with fantastically plush tannins and seamless freshness. finishing very long and very perfumed. Beautiful!

 

Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:

The 2016 L’Eglise-Clinet was matured in 80% new oak and bottled in mid-April 2018. Crystal clear in color. it has an equally crystal clear bouquet that is utterly seductive. featuring red cherries. wild strawberry. peony and iris flowers and a hint of bay leaf. You could sit and nose this all day. The balanced palate is medium-bodied and grippy in the mouth. displaying supple tannin and a perfect line of acidity. Again. there is a symmetry about this Pomerol that is utterly beguiling. and the persistence is up there with the very best. Simply put. this is one of the best L’Eglise-Clinet wines I have tasted in recent years. Stunning.

 

James Suckling Januar 2019:

The depth and beauty in the aromas really draw you in with black truffles. blackberries. crushed stones. violets and other flowers. Black olives. too. Full-bodied. super refined and structured with perfectly manicured tannins and a very. very long finish. It’s full of soul and precision. Take a look after 2024.
 

 

Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:

A big. powerful wine. Enclos Tourmaline races across the palate with inky dark plum. chocolate. spice. licorice and new oak. All the elements meld together in a rich. sensual Pomerol loaded with personality. Readers should expect a rich. potent style.


James Suckling Dezember 2019:

Fantastic purity and depth to this young wine and especially for the vintage. Medium to full body. Creamy and beautifully textured with gorgeous richness and balance. Harmonious. Love the texture. 100% merlot. Hard not to drink now. but better in 2022. 2.000 bottles made.

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

Cuvee:70 Merlot / 30Cabernet Sauvignon Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 19. September und 9. October Alkoholgehalt: 14.40 Vol.% Ein Merlot Year. der Cabernet Franc hatte perfekte Vorraussetzungen bis zum Ende zu reifen. Dichte und kompakte Farbe mit einem undurchsichtigen Kern. Der Duft ist sehr komplex. reife Schwarzkirsche. Brombeere. Holunder und eine unverkennbare Cabernetwürze. kombiniert mit diese tiefgründigen mineralisch kühlen Minznuance. Im Mund ist der Wein ein wahres Gedicht. so balanciert. frische. sanft und doch zupackend. in jedem Moment mit neuen Aromeneindrücken. das Finale ist so pur. so definiert. Ein schier nicht enden wollende Nachhall. Alexandre Thiempont beschreibt ihn als einen intellektuellen und komplexen Jahrgang. wie es für Ihn der 1945er ist. und vergibt ihm 98-100 Punkte.


 

James Suckling bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

This is a significant VCC with masses of fruit and juicy tannins. It’s fresh. but impresses you with the rich and powerful fruit. A tower of a wine. Incredible depth and density. Thick and muscular. It is 30 per cent cabernet franc. the rest merlot.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2018 Vieux Château Certan is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Yields were 40 hectoliters per hectare. The wine has a pH of 3.78. 14.4% alcohol and an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 77. Medium to deep garnet-purple—it has a very vibrant color—it drifts effortlessly out of the glass with wonderfully intense. beautifully delineated scents of red roses. black raspberries. kirsch and Darjeeling tea before the powerful. profound black fruits kick in: baked plums. wild blueberries. molten licorice and mulberries with touches of cigar box. cinnamon stick. tapenade and truffles. Full-bodied. rich. densely packed and revealing layer upon layer of red and black fruits with an incredible array of floral and spicy sparks. it has a high level of super ripe. incredibly fine. velvety soft tannins and fantastic freshness (not just from acid but from bright. crunchy fruit). It finishes very long. marvelously layered and with such jaw-dropping brightness from the fruit. the end is almost electric. Incredible.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Vieux Chateau Certan 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:

The 2018 Vieux Château Certan is a very pretty wine built more on elegance. finesse and aromatic nuance. Relative to the recent past. the 2018 shows a much more mid-weight structure and less of the creaminess of either 2015 or 2016. Much of that is attributable to a blend that includes 30% Cabernet Franc. Lavender. rose petal. mint and blueberry fruit all grace the 2018. Far from an obvious wine. the 2018 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. as it is a wine of total understatement and class. Fine beads of tannin support the understated finish. In 2018. VCC is a wine of refinement and subtlety more than anything else. I don't see the same visceral thrill as in a number of vintages of the recent past. Perhaps that will come in bottle.
