  2016 Château Clerc Milon Pauillac A.C.

  Clerc Milon ist und bleibt ein „Vin de Garde“. Kühl, kraftvoll, viel Tannin und Frische. Ein unermüdlicher Dauerläufer mit viel Kraft und Saft, dem die Reife des Cabernet Sauvignon unglaublich gut zu Gesicht steht! (94-95) Wine Advocate: 92-94/100 Punkte  "The 2016 Clerc Milon is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere (the latter vinification intégrale, so that it includes 50% of the stems, and Philippe Dhalluin said he was pleased with the results). It has a very pure bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, a touch of cedar and ash in the background. It takes time to really unfold in the glass. The palate is adorable: svelte tannin, beautifully pitched acidity, great depth with a silky smooth finish that just caresses the mouth. There is a little tightness here compared to the more expressive 2016 d'Armailhac, but I have no doubt that it will turn into a top-flight Clerc-Milon."  Trinkgenuss: 2023 bis 2050  Decanter: 96/100 Punkte " An estate that has been making great leaps forward over recent years, and once again we have a gorgeous Clerc on our hands. This is extremely succulent, with aromatic complexity and a freshness that just bursts out of the glass. Things start off closed for the first minute or so, then the juice comes rushing through. The mid-palate is smooth and polished but also bursting with energy. This is quite clearly one of their best ever wines, ripped through with sweet cherry and wild blackberry fruit, tightened up by slate and cedar. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere (some of the oldest plantings of this grape in Bordeaux)." Trinkgenuss: 2027-2050 Weinwisser: 18/20 Punkte  “… (55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Carménère) Tiefes, kräftiges, würziges Bouquet, schwarze Beeren, Korinthen, Pflaumen, Lakritze, Graphit, Tabak. Kraftvoller, dichtverwobener, aromatischer Gaumen mit kräftiger, dunkler, samtener Frucht, viel gutem Tannin, konzentrierter, muskulöser Struktur, vielfältiger Aromatik, sehr langer, dichter Abgang. Kann noch zulegen Trinkgenuss: 2024 bis 2042  Wine Spectator: 93-96/100 Punkte  "Very fresh in feel, with bright cassis and cherry fruit racing along an iron edge. Shows a good sleek feel through the finish and a light tug of earth at the very end. A vivacious and delicious wine in the making."  James Suckling: 94-95/100 Punkte "Refined and ultra-fine with a linear and polished character. Full-bodied, yet tight and racy. A classy and sophisticated young wine."  Antonio Galloni vinous: 90-93/100 Punkte  "The 2016 Clerc Milon is dense, plush and undeniably appealing. Plump fruit and supple tannins add to the wine's considerable charm. Here, too, the texture is sweet, plush and quite generous. A burst of dark blue/purplish fruit, grilled herbs, menthol and licorice punctuates the vivid finish. Clerc Milon has been terrific on each of the three occasions I have tasted it so far."  Wine Enthusiast: 93-95/100 Punkte "This wine has great richness, with dense tannins that beautifully meld with intense black fruits. It's concentrated, while at the same time it has a superb, velvety texture. This will be a great wine, ready after 12-15 years."  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

  2017 Château Canon 1. Grand Cru Classé B Saint-Émilion A.C.

  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 94-96/100 Punkte "The deep purple-black colored 2017 Canon offers-up intense notes of crushed blackberries, black cherries and warm cassis with touches of fertile loam, yeast extract, beef drippings and iron ore plus a waft of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied with great freshness and firm, rounded tannins, it's very earthy in the mouth, finishing long and mineral-laced. A very serious wine, it is also fun, bright and vivacious and should age impressively." James Suckling: 95/100 Punkte "This is very focused and fresh with limestone and crushed-stone character. Medium to full body, integrated tannins and a salty finish. Shows lots of minerality already. Umami licorice undertones."  Wine Spectator: 93-96/100 Punkte "A very pretty, slightly high-pitched version, featuring sleek cherry, cassis and damson plum fruit racing through, picking up light savory and mineral notes. The minerality blooms through the finish, with a floral gilding adding a sparkly effect on the long, unencumbered finish."  Decanter: 94/100 Punkte "Another successful year for Canon; not as voluptuous as in 2016 or 2015, but it has a wonderful salinity and a crisp, fresh curl to the fruit. They aim for crystalline flavours, vibrant fruit and a sense of forward motion, and for me it has that again this year. The flavours of blueberries, blackberries and soft, smoky almonds are drawn out through the palate, and by the time it has finished you are ready to go again. It has an austerity that is overridden by the juice, not quite overriding the vintage, but it's a delicious wine that again showcases the beauty of limestone. 50% new oak. Thomas Duclot is consultant here, and it really is a great year for the estates that he works with. Drinking Window 2025 – 2040” Vinous (Neal Martin): 92-94/100 Punkte "The 2017 Canon was picked 4 to 21 September and 22 to 27 September for the Merlot and Cabernet Franc at 42hl/ha and matured in 56% new oak. There is 14.0° alcohol this year and the pH comes in at 3.66. This takes a little time to open, eventually revealing blackberry, briary, crushed stone and light iris scents. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and good backbone. Strangely, it reminds me a little of modern-day Figeac, that Cabernet component smaller here but very expressive with touches of graphite and flint towards the linear but beguilingly fresh finish. I like the manner in which the limestone shines through the wine here, something noticeable in recent vintages. Whilst not the sensational 2015 or 2016, it is a damn fine Saint-Émilion that will settle at the top of my banded score. Trinkreife: 2022-2045" Wine Enthusiast: 93-95/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. Rich and densely concentrated, this wine has a generous character. It is not hugely structured, but does have great black fruits and a warm, rounded character, so it will develop relatively quickly. Drink from 2022." Weinwisser: 18/20 Punkte "77 % Merlot, 23 % Cabernet Franc. 42 hl/ha. Dunkles Granatrubin mit violettem Rand. Komplexes rotbeeriges Bouquet mit Anklängen an Veilchen und Johannisbeeren. Am feingliedrigen, femininen Gaumen mit präziser Ausrichtung und feinmehligem Tannin. Im Finale mit intensivem Rückaroma nach rotem Kirschensaft und einem Hauch Kokos – eine burgundische Delikatesse auf demselben hohen Niveau wie letztes Jahr. 2025-2045" Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.
