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

Seductive. The nose draws you in deep: It’s like staring into a well of pristine dark cherries. dark plums. blackberries and mulberries. All the oak is perfectly subsumed. The palate’s flawless with immense depth and power and it’s so balanced as to appear to float. Immaculate fresh dark-berry and plum flavors. Silky and deep. ribbon-like finish. Perfect.
Best from 2022.

Composed of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in 70% new and 30% one-year-old barrels. the 2015 Canon is boldly fruited with blackberry preserves. black cherry compote. fruitcake. mocha and plum preserves with suggestions of Indian spices. licorice and black olives. Full-bodied and packed with ripe. rich dried berries and exotic spice layers. it has a firm. slightly chewy structure and just enough freshness (the pH is 3.78). finishing long and savory. Give it another 2-3 years of cellaring to soften its edges and allow its flavor spectrum to fully emerge. and drink it over the next 20 to 25+ years.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Canon 2015 im Februar 2018 wie folgt:

From the very beginning. the 2015 Canon has made an eloquent case for itself as one of the wines of the vintage. Multiple tastings from bottle only confirm what several early tastings hinted at: the 2015 Canon is simply extraordinary in every way. Sumptuous and exotic. with no hard edges and exceptional balance. the 2015 grabs hold of all the senses and never lets up. A rush of red fruit intermingled with floral notes. spice and smoke notes effortlessly runs up the wine's vertical structure as the 2015 thrills with every twist and turn. The 2015 Canon is a rare wine that is both hedonistic and intellectual - well. maybe it is a bit more hedonistic-leaning. It doesn't matter. Don't miss it. This 2015 is masterpiece from General Manager Nicolas Auderbert and his team at Canon.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Belair Monange 2015 am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:
Blue fruits, minerals, lavender and licorice aromas are wonderful. Full body and ultra-refined tannins with an integration and refinement that make the wines seamless and beautiful. The powerful tannins hide from you at first, but what structure in the end. It goes on for minutes. Try in 2024.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Belair Monange 2015 am 21.02.2018 wie folgt:
This perhaps somewhat controversial marriage between the estates of Chateau Belair and Chateau Magdelaine — both Premier Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion estates — to form Chateau Bélair Monange hits pay-dirt with this spectacular 2015 release. Composed of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Belair Monange has the most singular nose of grilled meats, smoked game. iron ore and fallen leaves over a slowly unfurling ripe fruit core of crushed black plums, blackberry preserves and cassis with fragrant touches of star anise and potpourri. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, the palate reveals an arresting backbone of exquisitely ripe, very firm tannins and sparks of background acidity lifting and defining the rich, densely packed layers, culminating in an epically long and multifaceted finish. Possessing its own compellingly beautiful signature, this is a remarkably riveting wine that should not be missed.
 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Belair Monange 2015 im Februar 2018 wie folgt:
A huge, intense Saint-Émilion, the Bélair-Monange is just as impressive from bottle as it was from cask. That's the good news. The not-so-good news is that the wine is going to need at least a decade to shed some of its considerable baby fat. A rush of super-ripe black cherry, game, smoke and tobacco hits the palate as this dramatic, unrestrained Saint-Émilion shows off its explosive personality. The 2015 speaks with an assertive voice that demands attention – and it got mine. that’s for sure. The blend is 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc.

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

Haut Tropchaud 2019 Pomerol

Chateau Haut Tropchaud - Der absolute Geheimtipp aus Pomerol. auf dem Plateau gelegen und damit Nachbar von Le Pin. L’Evangile. Vieux Chateau Certan und Petrus.

Dunkles. dichtes Rot mit violetten Reflexen. in der Nase Holunder. Johannisbeere. Kirschen in allen Schattierungen. aber auch Himbeere. Im Antrunk unglaublich präsent. hohe Dichte. die Säure ist perfekt eingebunden. alles wirkt sofort perfekt proportioniert. Aromatisch unglaublich präsent. Schwarzkirche. Johannisbeere und Brombeere. der Haut Tropchaud ist aber nicht überladen oder sperrig. man kann ihn kaum ausspucken. die Umamiwürze zwingt einen förmlich zum trinken und das selbst in diesem Stadium der Fassprobe! Sofort geht einem ein Lächeln durchs Gesicht. der pure Hedonismus. dabei lang und mit der richtigen Portion Würze und Mineralik. Wieder wird diese extrem hohe Balance deutlich. Das Kaufmuss aus diesem Jahrgang, der archetypische Pomerol überhaupt. Unglaublich schön. balanciert und lecker und wieder lecker. so muss ein Pomerol sein! Pomerol ist Genuss ohne jegliche Reue. viel mehr als man das in den anderen Appellationen Bordeauxs finden kann. Wer großen Bordeaux trinken will und Spaß haben will ist beim Chateau Haut Tropchaud Pomerol genau richtig!

James Suckling bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2015 Pomerol

This is a more layered and juicy wine with a soft and round tannin texture. Walnuts and chocolate. Full-bodied, gentle and welcoming to taste. Chocolate and coffee undertones. Subtle and lightly decadent. Better than I remember. Drink or hold.
 

Neal Martin bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2015 Pomerol

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Clos l'Eglise has a very earthy nose of black soil, truffles and mossy bark over a core of kirsch, blackberry preserves and dried mulberries with wafts of rose hips and oolong tea. Full-bodied, richly fruited and packed with savory layers, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy.
 

Rene Gabriel bewertet den Clos L Eglise 2015 Pomerol

Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Sehr dichtes Bouquet, wirkt noch leicht hölzern im Ansatz, es ist aber auch genügend Fruchtdruck vorhanden. Im Gaumen fest, stoffig. noch fein aufrauhend, da ist viel Material drin, nicht unbescheiden in seiner Extraktion. Ich hätte weniger Kraft und mehr Saft erwartet. Das Potential ist aber beeindruckend. Also; let's see in 10 years.

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 Marlatic Lagraviere 2015 am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:
Deeper wine from the get-go with dark violets, mocha, cassis and blackberries. The palate has suave, smooth and sturdy tannins and terrific length. Very polished and seamless with flavors of fresh black cherries, blackcurrants and blue plums.
Best from 2022.
 

Neal Martin bewertet den Malartic Lagraviere 2015 rouge am 28. Februar 2018 wie folgt:
The 2015 Malartic Lagraviere has enjoyed a fine run of form in recent vintages. This is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot with smaller portions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It has a comparatively flamboyant bouquet for the appellation with scents of raspberry, crushed strawberry, cedar and a touch of graphite that lends it a Pauillac-like veneer. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, more black than red fruit infused with pencil lead and smoke. It fans out wonderfully toward the finish, completing a wonderful Malartic Lagravière that will age with panache.
 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Malartic Lagraviere 2015 rouge im Februar 2018 wie folgt:
The 2015 Malartic Lagravière is just as fabulous from bottle as it was from barrel. Rich, voluptuous and dramatic, it captures all of the natural intensity of the year. Black cherry, plum, mocha, chocolate, licorice and French oak build into a crescendo of stunning aromas, flavors and textures. This is in an especially dark, sumptuous style, but it all works beautifully. The 2015 was positively thrilling each of the three times I tasted it.
