BEYCHEVELLE
St. Julien
RP/William Kelly -
Aged for around 18 months in barrel, 60% new and
40% second fill, the 2018 Beychevelle needs a fair bit of swirling to
release classic notes of cassis, plum preserves and ripe blackberries,
with emerging suggestions of unsmoked cigars, tilled soil and cedar
chest, plus a waft of pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate
is still very tightly wound, offering finely packed black fruit and
earthy layers within a frame of firm, grainy tannins and just enough
freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. This will need a good
5-6 years to come around and then will drink beautifully over the next
20+ years. |

St Julien
RP/Lisa
Perrotti-Brown -
The 2018 La Croix de
Beaucaillou is a blend of 62% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, aged
12 months in two-third new barriques. Deep
garnet-purple coloured, it rolls effortlessly
out of the glass with vibrant notes of crushed
blueberries, baked plums and blackcurrant
cordial with hints of bouquet garni, underbrush,
clove oil and cast-iron pan. Medium to
full-bodied, the palate has a sturdy frame of
firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness
supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing
earthy.

LA CROIX
DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU
St Julien
RP/William
Kelley -
Rich aromas of cassis, licorice, cigar wrapper,
loamy soil and creamy new oak introduce Bruno
Borie's 2019 La Croix de Beaucaillou, a
full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine that's
rich and lively, with a fleshy core of fruit and
plenty of fine, chalky tannin. Like for
example Clos du Marquis and Les Forts de Latour,
La Croix de Beaucaillou isn't a second wine per
se, but rather a cuvée produced from dedicated
parcels.

CHATEAU GLORIA
St Julien
RP/WK -
The 2019 Gloria has turned out very well,
delivering aromas of blackcurrants, plums,
burning embers and a deft framing of creamy new
oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely
concentrated, with a vibrant core of ripe and
fleshy fruit, lively acids and powdery
structuring tannins that assert themselves on
the youthfully firm finish, this shows
considerable promise.

LES FIEFS de LAGRANGE
St. Julien
2nd Wine of
Chateau Lagrange
The top wine currently sells for approx. £50 for a 75cl bottle!
So this represents good value.
RP/Neal Martin -
The 2016 Les Fiefs de Lagrange, which actually comes from 35-year-old
vines nowadays, is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 4%
Petit Verdot and matured in 20% new oak. It has a very intense bouquet,
especially for a Deuxième Vin, with pure black cherry, crème de cassis
and crushed violets. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity,
quite tensile in the mouth and full of joie de vivre. You cannot really
go wrong with Les Fiefs. |

LAGRANGE
St. Julien
RP/William Kelly -
The 2019 Lagrange has turned out beautifully in
bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries and
cassis mingled with hints of loamy soil, pencil shavings and bay leaf.
Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of
lively fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids, it's suave and
seamless, concluding with a long, expansive finish. The result of an
extremely rigorous selection, and incorporating fully 80% Cabernet
Sauvignon, this is the finest wine this château has produced in the
modern era. |

LAGRANGE
St. Julien
RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown -
Deep
garnet-purple coloured, the 2016 Lagrange sashays out of the glass with
notions of candied violets, cassis, underbrush and warm black plums with
waves of Black Forest cake, cedar chest and yeast extract scents.
Medium to full-bodied, the bags of perfumed black fruits are solidly
structured with super ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and layered. |

CLOS DU MARQUIS
St Julien
Vinous.com/Antonio
Galloni
-
The 2017 Clos du Marquis is dark, pliant and inviting. Succulent dark
cherry, red plum, mocha, spice and licorice are all super-expressive in this
wonderfully open, radiant Saint-Julien. Plush fruit and silky contours add
to the wine's considerable appeal. Best of all, the 2017 will drink well
with minimal cellaring. This is such a beautiful and expressive wine |

LEOVILLE POYFERRE
St. Julien
RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown -
A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3%
Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged in 80% new oak barriques, the
2018 Léoville Poyferré comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant
scents of Morello cherries, plum preserves and blackberry pie, giving
way to nuances of cedar chest, unsmoked cigars, vanilla pod and
sassafras, plus a waft of crushed rocks. The palate is full-bodied,
rich and decadent, delivering hedonic black fruits and lots of spicy
accents with a velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing long
and satisfyingly savoury. This is a very impressive showing that is
delicious out of the gate but has the backbone to give a good 30 years
or more of pleasure. |

Chateau
Leoville Barton
The top wine currently sells for approx. £80 for a 75cl bottle!
So this represents good value.
Vinous.com/Neal Martin -
The 2016 La Reserve de Leoville Barton has a well-defined bouquet of red
fruit (strawberry and cranberry), plus touches of crushed stones tucked
underneath.
The medium-bodied palate offers light tannins and a fine bead of
acidity. Quite elegant in style, with a precise finish.
Classic Claret - no more, no less. |

SAINT PIERRE
St Julien
RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown -Composed of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot,
the 2018 Saint-Pierre bursts from the glass with a glorious perfume of
kirsch, blackcurrant pastilles, black raspberries and cedar chest with hints
of red roses, pencil shavings and spice box. The medium to full-bodied
palate coats the mouth with velvety tannins and beautifully knit freshness,
supporting the generous black and red berry layers, finishing long and
perfumed. It needs a good four years for the oak to marry and the fruit to
really hit its stride, then should drink a further 20+ years. |
