Tasting NotesBeautifully fresh nose. Bright fruit, cassis, raspberry, strawberry. Some spice and oak in the background. Surprisingly powerful on the palate after the nose, real depth and concentration, oak and tannins more evident, but still the shape and texture tends towards elegance. Probably nearing peak now, maybe another 1-2 years, then will plateau for another 3-5 years. More grand vin than deuxieme! RKL------"70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% new oak, pH 3.5. Barrel sample. Deepest cherry red. Nicely stony/dusty dark-red fruit. Juicy raspberry fruit, so lively and fresh. Deliciously approachable and still persistent. Super-fine tannins so it seems to be all fruit. 16.5 points." Jancisrobinson.com (JH)------"...the 2018 Chapelle De Potensac has an already complex nose of red and black currants, green tobacco, cedarwood, and spring flowers. This carries to an endearing, supple, seamless Médoc with light tannins, a rounded, balanced mouthfeel, and a great finish. Want a classic Bordeaux you don't have to wait a decade on? Give this beauty a whirl. 90 points" Jebdunnuck.com |

Tasting NotesAfter a beautifully pure Merlot nose the palate is structured and ripe but quite austere at the moment. Long on the finish and medium-bodied, this should be an elegant and very fine iteration of this super-value St Emilion. RKL------"Emerging from the talents of Denis Durantou, the 100% Merlot 2018 Saintayme should be snatched up by readers who want a brilliant, delicious Bordeaux to enjoy over the coming decade. Terrific notes of black cherries, kirsch, flowery incense, cedarwood, and tobacco all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with silky tannins and a ripe, hedonistic, yet balanced style that's a joy to drink. 94 points" jeb.dunnock.com |
