Saint-Julien

Slim and muscular, juicy, white pepper spice, a little overly austere compared to the wonderful 2022, 2016 and 2010 vintage of this wine, but still a great quality glass that slowly but surely stretches out. and invites you to enjoy. 25% new oak, 3.52 pH, 31 hl/ha, 5.1% press wine. Harvest 30 September to 9 October, Mikaël Georges technical director, 31hl/ha yield. New cellars in operation (as of 2023, all gravity fed, and where 40 tanks now over 100 tanks of differing sizes). 

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple colored. Skips out with cheery notes of black raspberries and red currant jelly, opening up to hints of wild sage, pencil lead, and rose oil. The light to medium-bodied palate is crisp and refreshing with lightly chewy tannins and an herbal lift on the finish.

The 2023 Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases is deep garnet-purple in color. It features vivacious scents of redcurrant jelly, crushed blackcurrants, and kirsch leading to wafts of dried herbs and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate is racy and lively, with crunchy red and black fruits and a lightly chewy texture, finishing with an herbal lift. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc. The alcohol is 13.5%.

Inky plum colour, this has edges of drying tannins but this is a powerful wine, a ton of intensity, iodine and oyster shell concentration, and tannic heft. A great En Primeur sample that has that sappy, astringent character that gives such confidence for its ageing potential. Impressive second wine. 39 hl/ha yield, 39% new oak. Harvest September 8 to 30.

A blend of 57% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Cabernet Franc, Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases 2021 has a deep garnet-purple color. It storms out of the glass with powerful notes of fresh blackberries and black cherries, plus suggestions of licorice, tar, rose oil, and bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate bursts with vibrant, forward black and red berry flavors, framed by ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Impressive!

Dyp lilla på fargen. Mørke bær som solbær, litt blåbær, lett eik. Medium + på intensitet. Høy syre med flott intensitet av solbær, blåbær, toast. Medium pluss utgang med mye tørrstoff, men finkornede tanniner. Flott vin som kan drikkes nå med lufting, men som vil ha godt av noen år til i kjelleren.
