93-94 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Valandraud 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Virginie de Valandraud 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:

Beautiful depth of fruit here with blackberry, chocolate and walnut flavors. The tannins are nicely folded into the wine. Lots of intensity. Rather fine texture.

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Valandraud:

The 2020 Virginie de Valandraud has a well-defined and quite complex bouquet of blackberry, briar, mint and light cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with dark chocolate and mint on the entry and grainy in texture, displaying a fine bead of acidity, and leading to an almost Left Bank–inspired finish that feels long and tender. Very fine.

Chateau Figeac 2020 Saint Emilion

William Kelley zum Chateau Figeac 2020 Saint Emilion im April 2023:
The 2020 Figeac is the finest wine that has been bottled to date at this estate since its renaissance began a decade ago. Wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries and raspberries mingled with cigar wrapper, pencil shavings, licorice and black truffles, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a suave, harmonious profile, vibrant acids, and beautifully refined structuring tannins. This sapid, complex wine represents the essence of this great terroir. Two years after extensive soil studies of the estate were carried out, and the first growing season to see cover crops used in the vineyards year-round, the 2020 benefited from more coherently demarcated parcels and more precise élevage, which taken together help to account for its edge over the excellent 2019.

98+ Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Figeac 2020 Saint Emilion

Jeb Dunnuck zum Chateau Figeac 2020 Saint Emilion im März 2023:
The Grand Vin 2020 Château Figeac checks in as 37% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 18 months in new barrels. They also utilize plenty of press wine, and the 2020 has 8% in the blend. Straight-up awesome aromatics of crème de cassis, ripe black cherries, iron, spring flowers, and an almost bloody, salty character emerge from the glass, and it's full-bodied, with a seamless mouthfeel, gorgeous tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and absolutely perfectly integrated oak. It's still tight and reserved, which is certainly the vintage, so do your best to hide these in the cellar. It should hit the early stages of its prime drinking window in 8-10 years and will have 30+ of overall longevity. It will unquestionably flirt with perfection at maturity.

James Suckling zum Chateau Figeac 2020 Saint Emilion im Mai 2023:
A mesmerizing nose here with flowers such as violets and red roses, then shows cherries and currants with some mineral and black truffles. Full-bodied yet so refined and harmonized with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Flavors of perfectly ripened fruit (al dente) with a hazelnut character that comes from the seeds. Incredibly transparent young red. Breathtaking. 37% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 31% cabernet sauvignon. Drink after 2028 and onwards. Magnificent.

James Suckling Chateau Figeac 2020 Saint Emilion im Januar 2023:
Very subtle and classy aromas of blackberries, hazelnuts and chocolate with some wet bark. It’s so subtle on the nose. Full-bodied, yet so fine and polished with an inner strength to this. Ultrafine and polished tannins that run the length of the wine. This goes on for minutes. Classy. Sophisticated. 37% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 31% cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2027, but it’s one for the cellar.

James Molsworth zum Chateau Figeac 2020 Saint Emilion im Januar 2023:
A broad-shouldered wine that captures the vintage's heat well in a core of cassis and blackberry fruit flavors, which are dotted with lively savory, tobacco leaf and warm earth accents. Reveals a tarry, grippy edge as well as polish as this pulls deeply from its terroir, leaving an echo of warm paving stone at the very end. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2030 through 2040. 12,480 cases made. –JM

Chateau Bellevue 2020 Saint Emilion

Der Saint-Emilion Château Bellevue 2020 präsentiert sich mit einer Vielzahl von Aromen, darunter Gewürze, Zedernkräuter, rote Früchte, Kampfer und blumige Noten. Dies ist ein mittelkräftiger, eleganter und gut ausbalancierter Wein mit einladendem Geschmack von schokoladigem Eichenholz, reifen Tanninen und einem guten Abgang. Dieser komplexe, elegante und ausgewogene Rotwein ist definitiv einen Versuch wert und wird sich in den kommenden 5-7 Jahren weiterentwickeln.

Den Chateau Bellevue 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
A full-bodied, firm and intense red with blackcurrants, toasted walnuts, violets, smoked paprika and dried herbs on the nose. Sturdy frame from firm yet polished tannins. Powerful and wonderfully integrated. Better from 2026.

Den Chateau Bellevue 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, opaker Kern, zarte Randaufhellung. Einladende süße Beerenfrucht, reife Herzkirschen und frische Feigen, zart nach Kokos, Gewürznelken und Vanille, feines Nugat ist unterlegt, ein Hauch von Edelholz. Saftig, kraftvoll, süße Kirschen, feine Tannine, mineralisch, gute Frische, salzig im Abgang, zartes Nugat im Abgang, ein kraftvoller Speisenbegleiter mit sicherem Reifepotenzial.

Den Chateau Bellevue 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
I loved the 2020 Château Bellevue, and this might be the finest vintage I’ve tasted from this address. Lots of cassis and blue fruits as well as toasted spice, chocolate, and chalky minerality emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a great texture, ripe tannins, and a nice mix of freshness and richness.

Chateau Badette 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau Badette 2020 Saint Emilionbeschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Aromas of ripe berries, licorice, cocoa, dried flowers and graphite. Medium-bodied with fine-grained, polished tannins and a silky texture. Smooth and refined with a lingering finish. Drink or hold.

95 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Badette 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau Badette 2020 Saint Emilionbeschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2020 Château Badette comes from a tiny 7.58-hectare vineyard located on iron and clay soils. The blend is 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, and the élevage spanned 16 months in 80% new barrels. It has a gorgeous nose of blueberries, cassis, spring flowers, and chocolaty oak. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Saint-Emilion with ripe, integrated tannins, the vintage's pure, focused profile, and a great finish. This brilliant effort will shine for 15-20+ years from cold cellars.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Badette 2020 Saint Emilion :
The 2020 Badette is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, aging for approximately 18 months in French oak barrels, 100% new. The alcohol is 15%. Opaque purple-black colored, the 2020 Badette erupts from the glass with bombastic notes of baked blackberries, plum preserves and kirsch, followed by hints of cedar chest, Chinese five spice, tar and licorice, plus a touch of eucalyptus. The full-bodied palate is full-on rich and decadent, featuring layers of black fruit preserves and exotic spices with a firm, grainy texture and plenty of freshness to support, finishing long and opulent.

91-93 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Badette 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Badette:
The 2020 Badette a property owned by Belgian Marc Vandenbogaerde, offers plenty of intense brambly red berry fruit on the nose laced with rose petal and violet - lots of chutzpah here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit, slightly powdery tannins with good depth and harmony. Gentle grip on the finish with fine persistence, this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru has a lot of potential and well worth seeking out.

Chateau de Pressac 2020 Saint Emilion

93-94 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau de Pressac 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau de Pressac 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:

Blackberry, chocolate, walnut and spice with some hazelnut. It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. I like the transparency and length to this.

88-90 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau de Pressac 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau de Pressac:

The 2020 Château de Pressac is well defined, almost unassuming on the nose, gently opening to reveal blackberry and briar scents, the oak very well integrated. The medium-bodied palate makes a very pure entry, offering black currant and blueberry notes and a dash of white pepper. Velvety-smooth toward a finish of satisfying length. This should give 12–15 years of drinking pleasure.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 92-94 Punkten bewertet

Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feinwür- zig unterlegte reife Pflaumenfrucht, ein Hauch von Lakritze, dezente Edelholznu- ancen, tabakiger Anklang. Saftig, elegant und frisch strukturiert, reife Herkirschen, mineralisch und gut anhaftend, ein facettenreicher Begleiter bei Tisch.

Chateau La Gaffeliere 2020 Saint Emilion

AUSVERKAUFT

Den Chateau La Gaffeliere 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
A worthy follow up to the excellent 2019, the 2020 La Gaffelière bursts with aromas of plums, sweet berries, licorice, mint and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and concentrated, with lively acids and vibrant fruit flavors, it's built around powdery, fine-grained tannins. Cabernet Franc represents fully 40% of the blend. As I wrote last year, this estate, in many respects Saint-Émilion's sleeping giant, is awakening.

James Suckling beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Deep and intense notes of plums and blackberries with dark chocolate, toasted spices, walnut, crushed graphite and wet stones. Full-bodied with layers of ripe, velvety tannins that flow in a firm stream throughout the palate. Very structured. Delicious chocolate-wrapped black and blue fruit with spiced character and a really long finish. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Drink from 2028.

94 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau La Gaffeliere 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau La Gaffeliere 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The 2020 Château La Gaffelière checks in as a 60/40 split of Merlot and Cabernet Franc that saw 50% new barrels. This medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant, seamless Saint-Emilion has lots of cassis and darker raspberry-like fruits, good mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and solid complexity in its notes of graphite, sandalwood, and Asian spices. It doesn't bring the depth and richness of the top wines in the vintage, but it certainly shines for its complexity and balance.

95 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau La Gaffeliere 2020 Saint Emilion

James Molsworth beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Here's a winner in this heat-influenced vintage, showing remarkable purity and focus, with a gorgeous beam of cassis, cherry paste and violet cruising through, inlaid with subtle chalky minerality and backed by a broad stroke of mouthwatering tobacco on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2028 through 2040. 7,500 cases made, 250 cases imported. –JM

Chateau Fonplegade 2020 Saint Emilion Grand Cru

BIO

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Fonplegade 2020 Saint Emilion Grand Cru :

Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Fonplegade offers up notes of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and blackberry preserves, followed by hints of smoked meats, cinnamon toast and potpourri. The medium to full-bodied palate bursts with juicy black fruits, supported by velvety tannins and well-balanced acidity, finishing long and fragrant.

93-94 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Fonplegade 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Fonplegade 2020 Saint Emilion Grand Cru Folgendes:

A solid red with blackberry, blackcurrant and spice character. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Nice depth of fruit and focus.

91-93 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Fonplegade 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Fonplegade:

The 2020 Fonplégade has an intriguing bouquet that oddly made me think of Burgundy! Plush red berry fruit, vanilla, blueberry jam and touches of sous-bois burst from the glass, hints of blood orange and marmalade lingering in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite effervescent thanks to the keen line of acidity, and a little zesty toward the finish. This brims with nascent vigor and should drink well once in bottle, perhaps one that might offer much in its youth.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 91-93 Punkten bewertet

Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, breiterer Ockerrand. Deutliche Kräuternote, ein floraler Hauch von Fresien, dunkle Beeren, reife Pflaumen, miner- alischer Touch. Mittlere Komplexität, frische Kirschen, eingebundene Tannine, feine Fruchtsüße im Abgang, ein vielseitiger, frischer Speisenbegleiter.

Chateau Bellefont-Belcier 2020 Saint Emilion

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Bellefont-Belcier 2020 Saint Emilion :

The 2020 Bellefont Belcier displays a deep purple black color, opening with fragrant notions of chocolate-covered cherries, red roses and menthol, giving way to a core of stewed plums, blackberry pie and hoisin, with a waft of anise. The medium to full-bodied palate has a solid backbone of finely grained tannins and bold freshness supporting the intense, tightly wound black fruit and earthy layers, finishing long and spicy. The blend this year is 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon with an alcohol of 14.5% and a pH of 3.65. The wine is aging in French oak barriques, 30% new.

96-97 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Bellefont Belcier 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Bellefont-Belcier 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:

A very sophisticated, layered red with dark-plum, chocolate and walnut character. It’s full and flavorful with a cashmere-like texture. Flavorful at the end.

90-92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Bellefont Belcier 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Bellefont Belcier:

The 2020 Bellefont-Belcier was picked from September 15 to October 9 at 37hl/ha and matured in 30% new oak, 20% oval foudres. It has a ripe bouquet of blackberry and raspberry fruit, plus touches of plum jam and subtle undergrowth, almost mulch-like scents. The palate is fleshy and open on the entry, framed by distinctly malleable tannins and a plush yet controlled finish with a dash of white pepper and sage. I suspect that this Saint-Émilion will drink earlier than its peers, yet it has the substance to give up to 15, possibly 20 years of drinking pleasure.

Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
The 2020 Angélus has turned out superbly and underlines this estate's continuing shift to a more elegant, integrated style that offers a purer expression of its terroir. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, it unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, mint and subtle hints of licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered and vibrant palate that's deep, precise and penetrating, concluding with a mouthwateringly chalky finish. Some 120 hectoliters of Cabernet Franc, amounting to around 20% of the blend, were matured in foudre this year, which no doubt helps to account for the significantly reduced oak impact in the 2020.

Den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Blackberry and plum character with chocolate, too. Oyster shell. Full and very firm with a linear sensibility. Tight and powerful. Very pure fruit. Tension and energy there. Polished tannins. Some coffee bean and chocolate. Give this at least five or six years. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Try after 2028.

98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The flagship from this great estate, the 2020 Château Angelus checks in as 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in new barrels. It’s darker and more concentrated compared to the 2019, offering beautiful, medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of redcurrants, black raspberries, sandalwood, spring flowers, and smoked tobacco. With just about flawless balance, it's not the blockbuster style of a decade ago, but it has gorgeous purity, ultra-fine tannins, a round, seamless mouthfeel, and a great, great finish. It's very much in the classic, balanced, structured style of the vintage, and a solid 7-8 years of bottle age are recommended. It will have 30+ years of prime drinking.

Chateau Franc Mayne 2020 Saint Emilion

Sowohl William Kelley vom Wineadvocate als auch Antonio Galloni von Vinous haben das Chateau Franc Mayne im JG 2020 dramatisch aufgewertet gegenüber den verhaltenen Fassproben. Bei Parker ging es von 91-93 rauf auf glatte 94 Punkte und bei Antonio Galloni von Vinous sogar noch dramatisch mehr. Von 89-91 Punkten als Fassmuster auf glatte 96 Punkte, es gibt sehr wenige Weine die das überhaupt jemals geschafft haben. Auffällig ist das sich beim Chateau Franc Mayne viele Verkoster einig sind, dass die jüngst erzeugten Qualitäten hier massiv nach oben zeigen,

Auch ich konnte den Franc Mayne 2020 auf der Prowein in Düsseldorf nachverkosten und ich kann Ihnen versichern es ist kein Zufall, dass die Verkoster das Weingut neu und höher bewerten. Es geht hier wirklich bergauf, wollen wir hoffen, dass die Preise nicht so kometenhaft steigen wie die gebotene Qualität.

Chateau Franc Mayne aus Saint Emilion - Hier geht die Post ab!

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Franc Mayne 2020 Saint Emilion :
The 2020 Franc-Mayne has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, spices and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless palate of real class and purity. Vibrant and polished, with vibrant fruit, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish, it's further evidence that this is an estate on the rise.

93 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Franc Mayne 2020 Saint Emilion

Jeb Dunnuck schreibt zum Chateau Franc Mayne 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:
A pretty, floral, exotic 2020, the 2020 Château Franc Mayne has ample red and blue fruits as well as flowery incense, orange blossom, and sandalwood notes in a medium to full-bodied, silky, elegant, already irresistible package. While it's not massive, it has terrific concentration and intensity, supple tannins, and a great finish. It's going to evolve gracefully for 15 years or more.

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Franc Mayne 2020:
The 2020 Franc Mayne is dense, resonant and beautifully explosive in the glass. Sumptuous dark red/purplish fruit, rose petals, mint and lavender all saturate the palate. This heady Saint-Émilion really delivers the goods. There's plenty of energy and tension to balance the more forward nature of the Merlot. Superb.

Jeff Leve zum Chateau Franc Mayne 2020:
94
Spicy black cherries, smoke, flowers, cigar box, dark red fruits and espresso bean shine with ease in the perfume. Elegant, fresh, vibrant and refined, the wine is medium-bodied, lifted and ends with ample minerality and dark chocolate covered plums on the backend that keep on going. This could be the finest vintage of Franc Mayne ever produced. Drink from 2024-2045.

Den Chateau Clos de L Oratoire 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
96 Some black pepper with crushed stone. Black berries, black cherries, and bark. Medium-bodied with lovely fruit and balance, and a gorgeous finish of peaches and tangerines. Fantastic. Drinkable but will age beautifully.

89-91 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Clos de L Oratoire 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Clos de L Oratoire:
The 2020 Clos de l’Oratoire is very cohesive on the nose of plush blackberry, raspberry, melted tar and light licorice scents, the latter becoming more vocal with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and quite firm and structured, with gentle grip on the entry and good acidity. Tightens up toward a finish that doesn’t want to give everything away at this prenatal stage. Give this 3–4 years once in bottle. because it has long-term potential.

A blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Canon la Gaffelière offers up inviting aromas of dark berries, plums, burning embers, rose petals, incense and bay leaf. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's suave and perfumed, with melting, powdery tannins and a vibrant core of fruit. As ever, the elevated percentage of Cabernet Franc lends it a singular and compelling style.

Such clarity to this with redcurrants, stems, fresh herbs, blackcurrants, and cherries on the nose. Medium to full body. Very tight, fine tannins. It builds nicely and has excellent length. Class and reality here. Needs three to five years.

Quite possibly the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted, the 2020 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière offers that rare mix of richness and elegance that makes this vintage so compelling. Classic notes of cassis, ripe black cherries, spring flowers, and truffly earth define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied and perfectly balanced, with beautiful tannins and a great finish. This is another stunningly good Saint-Emilion that will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and have 2-3 decades of overall longevity.

Chateau La Serre 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau La Serre 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
Including 15% Cabernet Franc, the Merlot-dominated 2020 Château La Serre comes from a 7-hectare vineyard of clay over limestone soils. It's another powerful, concentrated 2020 that has a load of fruit (black cherries, currants) as well as complex notes of loamy earth, spice box, and tobacco, with nicely integrated background oak. It has enough fruit and texture to offer pleasure today yet is going to evolve nicely for 20 years if well-stored.

Den Chateau La Serre 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Zartes Bukett, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten, rote Kirschen, Noten von Gewürznelken und Zimt, rotbeerig unterlegt und einladend. Mittlere Komplexität, Herzkirschen, integrierte Tannine, mineralisch, feiner Gerbstoff im Nachhall, mittlere Länge, wirkt etwas verschlossen.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau La Serre 2020 Saint Emilion :
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 La Serre is sporting a lot of cedar at this nascent stage, giving way to notes of crushed black plums, fresh blackberries and boysenberries with hints of sassafras, clove oil and mocha. The medium-bodied palate has a great intensity of fresh black fruits with ripe, rounded tannins and a lively line, finishing long and spicy.

94-95 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau La Serre 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau La Serre 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:
A medium-bodied red with redcurrant, berry and light chocolate character. It’s creamy and chewy. Yet, it shows polish and refinement.

90-92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau La Serre 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau La Serre:
The 2020 La Serre has (yet another) gorgeous, sensual and very pure bouquet of dark cherries, hints of cassis and wilted violet scents, the new oak seamlessly integrated. It reminds me of the 2018. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent black cherries and blueberry and saturated tannins counterpoised by a fine bead of acidity. It turns quite citric toward the end, and although it might not quite deliver the persistence of the 2018, this is another fine La Serre that should give 12–15 years of drinking pleasure.

Chateau Laroque 2020 Saint Emilion

Peter Moser im Februar 2023:

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zarte Edelholzwürze, Nuancen von Lakritze, schwarze Waldbeeren, florale Noten, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, reife rote Kirschen, elegant, präsente, integrierte Tannine, insgesamt ist das Holz noch spürbar, wird von weiterer Flaschenreife profitieren, besitzt Mineralität und Frische, sicheres Potenzial.

mit 95+ Punkten von Jeb Dunnuck bewertet

Jeb Dunnuck im März 2023:

Von einem Weingut, das in letzter Zeit eine unglaubliche Erfolgsserie hatte – vor allem dank der Talente von Direktor David Suire – zeigt der 2020 Château Laroque den kühleren, kalksteinbetonten Stil des Terroirs auf wunderschöne Weise. Er präsentiert eine klare, fokussierte Stilistik mit dunklen (fast bläulichen) Beerenfrüchten, kreidiger Mineralität, Veilchen, Gewürzen und floralen Nuancen. Am Gaumen mittelkräftig, ist dieser fokussierte, gradlinige und bemerkenswert reine Saint-Émilion von großartiger Tiefe im Mittelgaumen und einem hervorragenden Abgang. Er sollte, wenn möglich, für solide 4–5 Jahre im Keller verborgen bleiben und wird eine Langlebigkeit von 30 Jahren haben. Wenn er schon bald getrunken wird, sollte er für eine Stunde in der Karaffe belüftet werden.

William Kelley im April 2023:

Der 2020 Laroque ist sehr gelungen und entfaltet Aromen von Kirschen, minzigen Brombeeren, Lakritz und Lorbeerblatt. Mittel- bis vollmundig, samtig und vielschichtig, mit guter Tiefe im Kern, kreidigen, aber fein strukturierten Tanninen und einem salinen Abgang. Eine weitere starke Leistung für diesen aufstrebenden Star aus Saint-Émilion.

James Suckling im Dezember 2022:

Aromen von süßen Beeren mit Kräutern, feuchten Erd- und Moosnoten sowie frischen Pilzen. Mittel- bis vollmundig, mit ultrafeinen, cremigen Tanninen und einem schönen Abgang. Elegant und raffiniert. Ab 2025 genießen, aber schon jetzt sehr ansprechend.

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

Der 2020 Laroque ist sogar besser als die en primeur Probe. Dunkel und umhüllend, mit Tonnen von Klasse, Laroque ist ein Gewinner. Fleischige dunkle Pflaume, Kies, Gewürze, Menthol, Lakritze und Pfeifentabak geben den 2020 Tonnen Nuancen. Laroque ist personifizierter. Der Winzer David Suire macht hier wichtige Arbeit.

94 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Cote de Baleau 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau Cote de Baleau 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
Another killer wine in the vintage is the 2020 Château Côte De Baleau, which comes from a cooler, north-facing vineyard on the eastern side of the appellation. Almost all Merlot, it offers a medium to full-bodied, mouth-filling, layered style that carries plenty of ripe tannins, terrific mid-palate depth, and textbook Right Bank Merlot notes of red and black cherries, leather, dried flowers, and chalky minerality. It picks up more and more minerality with time in the glass and is a bonafide mineral bomb. Give it just a few years in the cellar and enjoy it over the coming 15-20 years.

91 Punkte vom Falstaff für den Chateau Cote de Baleau 2020 Saint Emilion

Den Chateau Cote de Baleau 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, opaker Kern, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Zarte dunkle Beerenfrucht, reife Pflaumen und Kirschen, tabakig-kräuterwürzige Nuancen, verhaltenes Bukett. Kraftvoll, reife Kirschen, kalkige Mineralität, reife, zart rustikale Tannine, Nugat im Abgang, ein Hauch von Dörrpflaumen im Nachhall, bereits entwickelt, opulenter, aber weniger komplexer Stil.

Den Chateau Grand Corbin Despagne 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
94 Jeb Dunnuck Deep ruby/purple-hued, the 2020 Château Grand Corbin-Despagne offers up a perfumed, exotic bouquet of red, blue, and black fruits as well as spicy oak, flowery incense, and sandalwood. Beautifully complex, medium to full-bodied, layered, and elegant on the palate, it has the vintage's concentration and power while staying light on its feet and graceful. It's another brilliant 2020 that will benefit from just short-term bottle age and keep for over two decades.

The Wine Cella Insider Flowers, licorice, cherries, plums, spice, bay leaves and sage create the complex aromatics. The wine is medium-bodied, silky and fresh.
