Chateau Malescasse 2023
Haut Medoc
Hinter Chateau Malescasse liegen fast 200 Jahre wechselvolle Geschichte. Der Tiefpunkt war Mitte der 1970er Jahre erreicht, als auf Chateau Malescasse nur noch vier Hektar unter Reben standen. Aber das Gute an Tiefpunkten ist: es kann nur aufwärts gehen. Das geschah auf Chateau Malescasse, als es der Alcatel-Konzern kaufte und zu investieren begann. Im Jahr 2012 übernahm dann Philippe Austry Chate

Chateau Margaux - Pavillon Blanc 2023
Margaux
JAMES SUCKLING: "This is quite a big Pavillon Blanc with sliced pineapple, ripe apple, lemon and stone.

Chateau Margaux 2023
Margaux
JAMES SUCKLING: "The aromas in this young Margaux are so primary, reminding me of grape must fermenting in the vat, then turning to perfumes and flowers. Violets and roses. Full-bodied but it comes across as so agile and bright, with vivid acidity that makes the wine crunchy and linear. As Alexis, one of the owners of Margaux said, this really shows the DNA of the estate. Weightless. One of the wines of the vintage. 3.6 pH. Blend of 89% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot."

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2023
Pauillac
JAMES SUCKLING: "This is the most structured Mouton since the great 2016, with tannins that start slowly and then take off. It’s muscular and toned. It’s full-bodied but doesn’t come across too heavy. It builds up in intensity and goes on and on and on. It just keeps expanding. I took a double take here. 93% cabernet sauvignon and 7% merlot."

The tannin quality is so refined and, in a way, weightless. 50% cabernet sauvignon, 46% merlot and 4% petit verdot."

Chateau Pavie 2023
Saint Emilion
JAMES SUCKLING: "The depth and intensity is really out of this world. The richness is there, but it's all in balance and has an almost weightless feel to it. It's medium- to full-bodied with purity and definition, and the magic of limestone soils keeps the pH low, giving energy, bright acidity and verve. Terrific young red. 51% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 17% cabernet sauvignon."
