Haut-Médoc
Mainly made up of layers of Garonne gravel, the Haut-Médoc territory is best known for its extreme diversity of soils, combining limestone, clay and sand. The aromatic complexity of Haut-Médoc wines reveals superb aromas of red and black fruits, licorice and sometimes a touch of menthol or spice. Aged in oak barrels, they present an elegant and very pleasant woodiness. As they age, they develop beautiful bouquets offering a delicious festival of animal touches (leather, fur), roasted notes (mocha), prune, cedar, truffle... These are lively, brilliant, generous and powerful wines, but without excess. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend. It is combined with Merlot. Petit Verdot and, to a lesser extent, Malbec are often added.
Haut-Médoc is an appellation brimming with quality estates, including Château Cantemerle, Château La Tour Carnet, Château La Lagune and Château Sociando-Mallet.

"It's really well made with creamy, slightly chewy tannins that add layers and density to the wine. It's medium to full-bodied, with lovely fruit and a touch of chocolate and nuts.

"Château La Lagune 2019 offers exquisite transparency on the nose - one of the most expressive wines of the vintage from this terroir. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, taut and fresh, quite saline with a very integrated, balanced finish that lingers on the palate. Wonderful: could this be the best Château La Lagune in years" (Vinous 2023) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"Delicate cocoa aromas, depth of black fruit, elegant nose. For his last vintage at the helm of Cantemerle, Philippe Dambrine has produced a very pretty wine, very mocha-colored, creamy, built around a juicy mouth, set with racy tannins and very controlled ageing". (Terre de Vins 2021) - This Médoc Grand Cru Classé is one of the most accessible. It's a best-seller to keep in your cellar! - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 12 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"Les Hauts de Lynch-Moussas 2019 presents a nose of blackcurrant and redcurrant, bold and fruity. The palate is fresh and harmonious on the attack, quite precise, offering graphite-tinged black fruits and a concentrated, slightly grainy finish. This is a very good Second Vin to be enjoyed over the next decade."

"Garnet-red with light purple highlights. Refreshing, fruity bouquet of good intensity, marked by raspberries, prunes and a hint of cinnamon. Crisp and creamy on the palate. Beautiful symbiosis between structure and tannins. The tannins are fine-grained and offer good fullness on the whole palate. I'm curious to follow this wine over time, but it's already very convincing. Bravo." (Yves Beck 2018)

" Sociando-Mallet confirms, with brio, the promise shown during the primeurs. Of course, the ageing doesn't go unnoticed, but it's just an accompaniment that gives way to notes of dark berries, liquorice, graphite and mint. The wine stands out for its fullness, elegance and serenity. Its fleshy, slightly sweet tannins go hand in hand with a structuring acidity that complements the fruity expression on the finish. This is a great Sociando-Mallet. Somebody up there must be very proud" (Yves Beck 2022).

"Consecrated Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 2020, this is a beautifully crafted Haut-Médoc, elegant in its limpid, brilliant color. If the nose is rather discreet, the palate is more loquacious, open to blackcurrant, spices and toasted notes, sustained by good freshness and tannins well set in the flesh. A lovely classic. (Guide Hachette - Edition 2024) - Château Belle-Vue is one of the Médoc's hottest Crus Bourgeois!

"Lovely deep ruby color and excellent aromatic finesse from the oak, which doesn't dominate but adds layers of smoke to the black currant and black cherry fruit. This wine is both nuanced and complex. It's a gourmet wine that opens with dark chocolate and licorice. Clearly interesting, with ageing potential". (Decanter 2020) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"The nose is bright, the palate dark and quite serious. No massive acidity, but the fruit is beautifully fine: sculpted and balanced, even showy and bright. A linear style with a push from start to finish, then a strong minty character on the finish." (Decanter 2022)

L'Héritage de Chasse-Spleen - Haut-Médoc 2020
92/100 James Suckling
"Aromas of blackberry, undergrowth, black truffle and mushroom lead to a full-bodied palate with round, creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Plenty of complexity for a second wine. (James Suckling 2023) - Great value from Château Chasse-Spleen!

"Clément-Pichon 2018 is a powerful, typified Haut-Médoc. Iron, dried herbs, tobacco, menthol and coffee give the 2018 layers of nuance. More dynamic than voluminous, this is a very impressive wine. This cru bourgeois supérieur has a lot to offer." (Vinous 2021) - A Cru Bourgeois supérieur in the bosom of the Fayat family like the eponymous Château in Pomerol and La Dominique in Saint-Emilion.

"Harmony and a little charm make an ideal couple. They open up great prospects for Camensac 2020, but the tannins don't fail to offer structure and provide a good foundation for the whole palate. Even if "Camensac" means "the paths that lead to the water", the 2020 does not fail to lead to pleasure! A harmonious, fruity wine supported by precise, velvety tannins". (Yves Beck 2022) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).
