Chateau La Confession 2021

Suckling: "A medium-bodied wine with black and green olives, as well as crushed stone. Firm tannins and a juicy finish. Solid texture. Spicy. 74% merlot and 26% cabernet franc. 30% in amphora and the rest in new and first-year used oak barrels."

Wine Cellar Insider: "Plummy, with chocolate, espresso, black cherries, smoke and flowers in the perfume, the wine is silky, fresh, soft, and sweet, with loads of supple-textured red fruits in the vibrant finish. The wine blends 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2023-2038."

Galloni: "The 2021 La Confession is bold, racy and explosive. Inky blue/purplish dark fruit, lavender, spice and chocolate are all dialed up. Bright acids come through nicely on the finish, lending considerable energy to balance all of that opulence."
