Colour: Beautiful deep, bright red with intense glints of violet. Nose: Complex, pleasantly powerful, fruity, mineral, smoky, toasty notes, intense with good depth. Clean, pure, elegant and refined. Palate: Mellow, smooth attack, developing an elegant, refined tannin structure. The palate is powerful, rich and complex, suggesting excellent potential to improve with age. Concentrated, powerful aromatic profile with fruity, mineral and toasted notes. The overall impression is of good length and complexity; a charming wine that should age well.

Wine AdvocateDeep, rich, red and black currant fruit, plum, soy and Asian spice are present in this inky/purple wine, which is medium to full-bodied with supple tannins, outstanding concentration and very impressive aromatics.

Wine SpectatorThis has a solid, gutsy feel, with lots of briar underscoring the vivid plum sauce, fig and blackberry fruit flavors. A bolt of licorice snap emerges on the fleshy finish. A strong showing.

Wine EnthusiastBig, fresh and juicy, this is a bright and forward wine. Attractive smoky tannins are layered with fresh acidity and black currant flavors. The wine is already attractive, although there are enough tannins for it to age.

Clarendelle Rouge 2012
The wine has a brilliant, intense garnet-red colour. The bouquet is complex and fruity, with ripe berry overtones. Great care was taken to extract silky tannin. The fresh acidity contributes to the wine's attractive fruitiness and delicious flavours. Furthermore, there is a long, powerful aftertaste and a beautiful finish. Altogether smooth, elegant, and balanced.

Château-La-Croix-de-Beaucaillou Saint Julien 2010
Croix Beaucaillou, like a first growth, is therefore submitted to careful selection. Most of the wines coming from the plots of young vineyard as well as the lesser batches will incorporate the third growth which will be sold or... drunk at the chateau. Croix de Beaucaillou is thus subjected to a reasoned blending aimed at producing a wine which will of course reveal its assets earlier than Ducru B but also the characteristics of a great Saint Julien: elegance, finesse and of course its ability to age. It is worth noting that this wine is far superior to the connotation of 'second wine'. It is a great, noble wine, which we are sure will play a prominent role in the Saint-Julien appellation. La Croix de Beaucaillou has been bottled on the property since 1995. Until then, it was sold in bulk to Bordeaux wine merchants.

Chateau du Seuil Graves 2012
The Château du Seuil Graves red wine is made from a blend of 50%Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. The different varieties are fermented individually in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, then pressed and passed into barrels to undertake malolactic fermentation. The resulting wines are fruity, well balanced with integrated oak flavours and firm round tannins. Additionally, in recent years the wine has developed the peppery characteristics of a classic Graves red. The finished wine is aged in oak for up to 18 month prior to bottling. It is pleasing on the palate, fresh and have a complex aftertaste. Delicious to drink now but can be stored for up to 10 years.

Château-Meyney St. Estephe 2009
Good intensity with deep red colour and purple tinges. Enticing nose full of cassis, mild spices and graphite. The whole bouquet is very expressive. The palate reveals a well structured and balanced wine with clear-cut flavours, dense middle palate and ripe, silky tannins. Here is a truly great vintage for cellaring from Meyney. Can be enjoyed as from 2015. At its best between 2025 and 2030.
