Chateau La Confession 2024

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Plums, red cherries, truffle, white flowers, and herbs fill the nose. The wine is sweet, energetic, vibrant, and leaves you with a crispy freshness that adds to the minerality found here. With Thomas Duclos as the new consultant, this is a property to watch. The wine blends 68% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Malbec. Drink from 2027-2040."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Ockerrandaufhellung. Rote Kirschen, ein Hauch von Lakritze, frische Orangenzesten, feinwürziges Bukett. Leichtfüßig, rotes Waldbeerkonfit, frisch, runde Tannine, mineralisch im Abgang, bereits zugänglich, vielseitig einsetzbar."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Aromas of confit orange, dark berries and cherries preface the 2024 La Confession, a medium to full-bodied, creamy and layered wine that's succulent and saline, representing a strong effort in this challenging vintage."

VINUM: "Offene Nase, Sahnehäubchen über roter Frucht, Himbeeren, Sauerkirschen, Kräuter; gradlinig am Gaumen, knackige Frucht, sehr delikat, pudrige Tannine, frisches, rotfruchtiges, angenehm langes Finale. Ein gelungener Saint-Émilion mit Eleganz."
