BORDEAUX PRIMEURS 2015ENFIN UN GRAND MILLÉSIME !

EINDELIJK WEER EEN HISTORISCH JAAR!

2015 bezit het meest charmerende fruit van het laatste decennium en overtreft hiermee

2005-2009 en 2010 in puurheid en elegantie. De tanninestructuur is subtieler dan die van

deze grote jaargangen waardoor vele wijnen hun groot potentieel ook jong zullen prijsgeven.

De welgekomen regenbuien in augustus hebben te lang aangehouden in het noorden van

de Médoc waardoor niet alle kastelen een topprestatie zullen bottelen. Grote homogeniteit

evenwel in Pomerol en Saint-Emilion waar de minder gekende Châteaux vaak uitstekende

prijs/kwaliteit in de kelders hebben. Prachtige soms monumentale wijnen zijn er in de maak

in zowel Margaux, Pauillac en Saint-Julien. Ook in Pessac-Léognan zitten er grote wijnen in

de vaten. De witte wijnen zijn van goede tot uitstekende kwaliteit, soms evenwel iets te rijp.

2015 possède le fruit le plus charmeur de cette dernière décennie et sa pureté et son

élégance surclassent 2005, 2009 et 2010. La structure tannique est plus raffinée que celle

de ces grands millésimes ce qui permettra de découvrir leur grand potentiel plus tôt.

Dans le Nord du Médoc, des pluies bienvenues en août se sont quelque peu trop prolongées

rendant la qualité moins uniforme. Par contre grande homogénéité à Pomerol et Saint-Emilion

où les châteaux moins connus vont souvent nous offrir d’étonnants rapports prix/qualité.

Margaux, Pauillac et Saint Julien nous livreront des vins magnifiques, parfois monumentaux.

A Pessac-Léognan les fûts regorgent de grands vins. Les blancs sont bons voire excellents,

parfois un rien trop riches.

“70% Merlot - 30% Cabernet FrancCette petite propriété située sur la commune de Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens, au Sud de l’appellation, appartient à la même famille (Elliès) depuis 150 ans. Les vignes évoluent sur des sols chauds, majoritairement graveleux et ont une moyenne d’âge de 25 ans. Gérée depuis 1995 par l’actuel propriétaire, elle bénéficie de soins attentifs tant au vignoble qu’au cuvier. De nouvelles cuves en inox thermo-régulées ainsi qu’un nouveau chai à barriques garantissent une parfaite vinification. L’élevage s’effectue pour moitié en barriques (un tiers renouvelé chaque année) et pour moitié en cuves.”

Wine Advocate : “The 2015 Fonbel, which you might regard as the entry-level wine of the Vauthier family, is a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Carmenère and 5% Petit Verdot. It has a straightforward, lavender-tinged bouquet with a chalky scent that becomes more apparent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin and a fine thread of acidity. Smooth with dark cherries, red plum and cassis notes, it exerts a pleasant grip on the finish.”

It has a gorgeous bouquet with blackberry and cranberry fruit, a touch of vanilla emanating from the new oak that is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with good depth, a “solid” Saintayme, a pleasant chewiness with a feisty dark berry, licorice-tinged finish. This comes recommended - a fine Saint Emilion from the hands of Denis Durantou.”

There is plenty of new oak on the entry that will need to be subsumed, but I appreciate the tannic structure and freshness on the finish that lingers nicely in the mouth.”

It has an intense bouquet, a touch of fish oil underneath the feisty red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a dense, quite structured opening, a tight fist of red and black fruit at the moment that I am certain will open up during its barrel maturation. What I appreciate here is the precision on the finish, at a level that I have not encountered with respect to this property.”

It has a reticent bouquet at first, but it soon opens up with layers of blackberry, raspberry coulis, orange sorbet and floral aromas. This is beautifully defined and intellectual, a Saint Emilion with aromatic secrets that will only be revealed with bottle age. The palate is medium-bodied with quite sturdy tannin. There is a firm backbone to this Belair-Monange, a serious Saint Emilion, complex and intellectual with precise red and black fruit, a touch of spice and a dash of white pepper on the finish.”

The nose was initially arresting with a carapace of toasty new oak, but it only takes several swirls of the glass for that to dissipate and leave scents of intense black fruit, crème de cassis, spice box and violets. It is verging on “heady” in style, powered along by that Merlot. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, layers of ripe, sensual, lavish black fruit interlaced with black pepper and clove. The acidity binds everything together, main-tains control through to the finish that fans out nicely.”

Iron, savory herbs, white pepper and mint open up first, followed by intense, pungent tannins that extend the mid-palate into the finish and give the wine its shape. Unctuous and rich, but with good aromatic intensity and plenty of structure, the 2015 is likely to require quite a few years to fully come together.

Matured almost in 100% new oak, it has a very pure and charming bouquet, the Merlot dominant and slightly shrouding the Cabernet Franc at the moment. It is worth staying with this Pomerol, because it does change after four to five minutes in the glass, revealing touches of truffle and iodine.

A striking mélange of dark red and purplish fruit, wild flowers, hard candy, mint, spice and new leather makes a strong opening statement. Sweet floral notes add lift on the finish. Branaire is one of the freshest, most perfumed Saint-Juliens of the vintage. As such, it is a wine of pure pleasure and sensuality, not to mention a terrific example of the year. Tasted three times. ”

Wine Advocate : “The 2015 Echo de Lynch Bages is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Merlot, matured in one-year-old barrels. It has a fragrant, finely tuned bouquet of blackberry, pencil lead and a touch of citrus fruit - scents that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, the acidity well judged, gentle in the mouth, but building in fruit intensity to a pleasurable graphite-tinged finish. One of those deuxième vins where more is less. This is a well-crafted Echo...echo...echo... ”

Wine Advocate : “The 2015 Clerc Milon is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 1% each of Petit Verdot and Carmenère, raised in 55% new oak. It has a highly perfumed bouquet with scents of small black cherries, graphite, touches of incense and wilted violets. This is a very extravagant bouquet for Clerc-Milon that wants to make an early impression. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, more expressive and delineated than the 2015 d’Armailhac, the finish beautifully focused with that graphite seam coming through on the sustained finish.”

Vinous - A. Galloni: “The 2015 Réserve de la Comtesse is a powerful, tannic second wine that looks like it will need a few years in bottle to come together, as its structural spine is imposing at this stage. Dark, brooding and intense, the 2015 possesses magnificent depth and pedigree to burn. A host of black cherry, graphite, smoke, licorice and incense hit the building, intense finish. The 2015 is a gorgeous Comtesse, but the brooding style is going to take some time to come into its own. This is a serious second wine. Tasted four times.”

Wine Advocate : “The 2015 Pichon Baron is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot picked between 18 September until 9 October. It has a pure bouquet with lifted blackcurrant, blueberry and graphite aromas, beautifully delineated, the oak seamlessly embroidered with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin. This is disarmingly and utterly harmonious with a startling mineral core. Possibly the most sensual Pichon Baron that I have tasted at this nascent juncture, it gently unfolds in the mouth and leaves with an enormously persistent finish that leaves the senses tingling.”

Vinous - A. Galloni : “A dramatic, ample Lafite, the 2015 is also arrestingly beautiful and vivid. Expressive floral notes give the dark red and black flavors gorgeous aromatic lift. Today, the new oak is a bit pronounced, but otherwise, this is an exceptional wine. Rose petal, lavender, mint and purplish stone fruits add the last shades of detail”

Wine Advocate : “The 2015 Mouton-Rothschild is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc matured entirely in new oak, as usual. This represents a relatively high percentage of Merlot simply because, as winemaker Philippe Dhalluin told me, that quality was so good. I afforded my sample four to five minutes to open as it was a little reduced at first, but eventually it reveals a gorgeous, extraordinarily intense bouquet of black-berry, cassis, incense and cold slate aromas. In some ways it reminds me of Latour as much as Mouton Rothschild. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin, perfectly pitched acidity, wonderful tension and impres-sive length.”

Although not especially complex, nor typical of the appellation the 2015 offers lovely freshness and aromatic lift. It should drink well with minimal cellaring.”

Wine Advocate : “The 2015 Petit Bocq has an attractive bouquet with dark chocolate-tinged black fruit, a bit obvious perhaps, but well-defined, the new oak coming over strongly at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, but here the new oak feels disjointed and masks the terroir and character of the vintage, leaving it feeling rather generic. Hopefully it will improve by the time of bottling.”

Bright red cherry, blood orange, tobacco and expressive floral notes add to the wine’s mid weight structure. Silky tannins add to the wine’s near term appeal. I would prefer to drink the Marquis sooner rather than later. Tasted three times.”

Wine Advocate : “The 2015 Calon Segur is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot (no Cabernet Franc in the Grand Vin this year). It was picked from 8 September until 5 October at a yield of 47 hl/ha and is matured in 100% new oak for the next 20 months. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the aromatics with blackberry, cedar and graphite aromas: quite linear, nicely focused and reserved compared to the 2014 last year. The palate is understated on the entry, the tannin very fine and the acidity very well judged. Like the nose, the Cabernet drives this wine forward: structured and a little “brittle” in the mouth, perhaps the most Pauillac-like Calon-Segur that I have encountered over many years of tasting.”

Weightless, powerful and intense, the 2015 possesses crystalline delineation and precision from the very first taste. Bright red stone fruit, pomegranate, chalk and mint are some of the signatures. In the last of my four tastings, the Domaine de Chevalier showed tremendous richness and intensity as well. It will be interesting to see where the 2015 ends up. The future certainly looks bright. In 2015 the blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.”

A host of lemon confit, white peach and slate notes race across the palate. Remarkably fresh and vivid, the 2015 offers an alluring interplay of textural creaminess and energy. I imagine the 2015 will age effortlessly for decades, as these wines do. The 2015 is 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, fermented in barrel, with blocked malo. Domaine de Chevalier’s Blanc remains a reference point, perhaps the reference point, for dry white wine in Bordeaux. Don’t miss it!”
