"In the glass, intense, incredibly fresh aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry and morello cherry, accompanied by sweet spices, liquorice and toast. On the palate? Fruit, fruit and more fruit! A crisp, explosive fruitiness that accompanies a palate that is both powerful and fine, ample and long. A bottle that's already devilishly charming, but with enormous potential ".

About the wine:
This is not the label's first coup de coeur: the 1996, 1998 and 2012 vintages have had their labels reproduced on these pages. Like its predecessors, the 2014 version features the oldest vines of Ch. de Chainchon, planted some forty years ago on a very steep slope, totally grassed over and cultivated at low yields. In the glass, intense, incredibly fresh aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry and morello cherry, accompanied by sweet spices, licorice and toast. On the palate? Fruit, fruit and more fruit! A crisp, explosive fruitiness that accompanies a palate that is both powerful and fine, ample and long. A bottle that's already devilishly charming, but with enormous potential.
About the domain :
A former cellar master at a Saint-Émilion Cru Classé, Patrick Érésué has been running Château de Chainchon (22 ha) in the Castillon-Côtes-de-Bordeaux appellation since 1996, a property that has been in his family since 1846. He created the Valmy Dubourdieu-Lange cuvée, a sure bet in the appellation, and initiated the estate's organic conversion (certification in 2013).

Fruity, with a hint of clove and fine tannins, to be enjoyed now.

A nice surprise, even though I'm not a claret fan. A fine bottle of woodiness without excess, a harmonious wine.

Dark color, very expressive red fruit nose, lively attack, good body supported by great freshness, powerful and long. Great potential!

Note and review by M. JEAN PAUL M. Published on 24/03/2018
Still quite astringent and well-structured. Worth waiting at least 3 years.

Note and review by M. DAVID S. Published on 11/03/2018
What a horror. Much, much too young. Almost undrinkable. It should be left to age for at least 3 years in the hope that it will improve.
