Chateau d'Agassac Haut-Medoc

Bordeaux

Haut-Médoc

Rich plum colour, as with En Primeur you can expect lean and savoury blue and black fruits right from the first moments. Has a sappy charm to it, with clear spice, but it lacks momentum through the palate. 40% new oak.

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little coaxing to bring out scents of black plums and fresh raspberries, plus nuances of cedar chest and spice box. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and soft with juicy red and black fruit flavors and a spicy lift on the finish.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Smoked cedar and grilled raspberry on the nose, grippy tannins, blue fruits and liqourice fill out the attack with Haut-Médoc typicity, although things soften through the mid palate, finishing with earthy rose bud and tomato leaf. Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, expected to be reconfirmed in the new ranking at the end of the year, and this is an estate to watch, with a hotel opening on site in 2025. Lucas Lecerc director, 50% new oak for ageing. Tasted twice.

Gentle white pepper spice, fennel, cocoa bean and smoked caramel, this shows structure and grip that translates to high austerity in the tannins right now. Give it time as there are pretty violet and peony notes as it opens up, but it struggles to expand through the mid palate. Just beginning the works of building a hotel on the estate. 60% new oak for ageing, gravel soils, with a section of sandy gravel, Gerard Jicquel owner. 35hl/h yield. 50% new oak, 40% stainless steel vats, 10% amphora for ageing.

This is good, powerful, deep black and blue fruits, silky tannins, rich cocoa bean, liqourice, espresso, rosemary, good length and grip, enjoyable stuff.

Flint and gunsmoke reduction on the first nose, clears to show a lovely density to the well-crafted blackberry fruits. Good quality, a little closed and subdued right now. On clay soils near to La Lagune. 40hl/ha yield, 60% new oak.
