Saint-Julien
Saint-Julien wines offer an intense, complex aromatic palette, and are generally characterized by their dense ruby color. They combine power and concentration with feminine finesse and elegance. Notes of blueberry and blackcurrant, blackberry, prune, tobacco and licorice dominate. Over time, pleasant tertiary aromas such as leather, fur, venison and truffle appear. The palate is dense, full-bodied and opulent, with powerful yet finely woven, velvety tannins.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape variety in the Saint-Julien blend. It is combined with Merlot and, to a lesser extent, Cabernet Franc. Saint-Julien wines combine power and concentration with feminine finesse and elegance. They have great ageing potential. The Saint-Julien appellation boasts 11 renowned Crus Classés, including Château Léoville Poyferré, Château Léoville Barton, Château Talbot, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Château Lagrange, Château Gruaud Larose, Château Léoville Las Cases and Château Beychevelle.

"A sense of detail, subtlety and delicacy seem to be taken for granted at Gruaud-Larose, yet it takes relentless effort every year to achieve such a level. And that's where Gruaud-Larose stands among St-Julien's elite, with its ability to produce great wines year after year. Like the bouquet, the palate displays high definition, with tight but integrated tannins that have the substance to carry the wine through the decades to come. A dense, young, precise and powerful wine. What relevance and continuity! Bravo!"

"Léoville-Poyferré 2015 is spectacular. Inky, dense and explosive, this 2015 possesses uncommon richness, with supple, smooth contours and exceptional balance. All the elements are simply fused. Notes of blue and purplish fruits, chocolate, new leather, blueberry jam, exotic spices and violets are all beautifully underlined. Fresh, vibrant and totally sexy, Léoville-Poyferré is one of the wines of the vintage, so don't miss it!

"In terms of authenticity and repetitiveness, this vintage is very strong! Year after year, Lagrange's style is acclaimed. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings out its freshness, while the Merlot smoothes out the edges. Lagrange is sapid, full-bodied and perfectly supported by creamy tannins. The acid structure provides a good backbone and highlights the aromatic expression on the finish. An expressive, persistent Lagrange with a revitalizing freshness" (Yves Beck 2022) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"Such a deep, concentrated nose, full of ripe blackcurrants and black cherries. Great intensity and concentration on the palate, some dark spice, licorice, black pepper and cinnamon notes on the edges, all accompanied by layers of juicy, succulent ripe fruit. Definitely a full, bold wine. Real power here, but elegant and energetic. If you like the gourmet style, this is an excellent one".

"The 2017 Glana has a well-defined, concentrated bouquet, with aromas of blackberry, cedar and light tobacco. It shows elegance and refinement. The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannins, finely pearled acidity and a pinch of black pepper on the finish. While not the most high-profile property in Saint-Julien, this Glana is impressive and could represent the insider's choice."

"What a level for Talbot's 2nd wine! Of course, it's well marked by its ageing through notes of roasting, but the bouquet also reveals nuances of dark berries. As the minutes go by, it's clearly the fruity notes that take over, and this continues right through to the finish. A structured, inviting and elegant wine!

"On a dapper fruit pulp, Talbot confirms its new style despite the prejudices of the vintage. The nose is pleasantly deep, more plunging than slender, but the palate takes us by surprise, biting, vertical, signed by a tonic, sharp juice, finely smoked on the finish. The wine stretches out in length and persistence, for our pleasure".

"Admirable nose that makes you love it in blind tasting from the very first second, with a charm and finesse that are hard to describe in words and that are found in a "haute-couture" mouthfeel. The Cabernets are beginning to better define the terroir, but there are clearly some remarkable Merlots here. Great class from a terroir that has fully rediscovered its prestige".

"Léoville-Barton expresses itself in majesty on this 2021 vintage, just captured on a firm, tasty, articulate flesh, with a touch of austerity in the tannic framework that characterizes its terroir signature. The body is bloody and straight, elongated and slender. Well done." Favorite !

" The discreet but elegant bouquet opens up gently to black fruit on aeration. This straightforward, well-balanced wine finds full expression on the palate, buoyed by a solid tannic structure and a pleasant freshness that gives it good length." (Guide Hachette des Vins - Edition 2022). One of Saint-Julien's finest discoveries, with unbeatable value for money!

"In blind tastings, the intensity of body was greater than that of its neighbors, a mark of the high age of the vines, but also with an improvement in refinement of texture and ageing, which brings it considerably closer to the appellation's Second Classified Growths. Remarkable value for money". (Bettane & Desseauve) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"The bouquet of the 2019 reveals itself with delicacy. Nuances of blackberry and peppermint followed by a touch of graphite. On the palate, the attack suggests a slender character, but that's without counting the tannic structure that reveals itself step by step, ideally seconded by the acid structure. The wine has body, muscle and plenty of freshness. It can certainly be enjoyed in its youth, but like its predecessors, you'll have to wait for it" (Yves Beck 2021).

"Finesse, complexity and depth. This line has been applied for a long time, with exceptional precision, but also with a subtle way of displaying it... it's not obvious to the eye (or nose, rather), but it's well established! The bouquet displays nuances of dark berries, sweet spices, cocoa beans and graphite. The wine is full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins. These ensure the wine's power and harmony, as they go hand in hand with its acid structure and freshness. Another Barton that combines finesse, vigor and depth".

"What sets this wine apart during tasting is its absolutely refined ageing. It has all the characteristics of the vintage: concentration, ripeness, but also a fine balance of acidity and fine tannins. The result is a tasty, dense and fluid palate. The barrel work seems to surround the wine with a thick self-fabric, perfumed with coffee and incense. Let's not forget it on delivery ".
