  (97-99 vvPunkte) Dichtes Purpur, im Kern fast Schwarz, brillant. In der Nase feinduftig und hochkomplex, dunkle Frucht, Kirschen, Brombeeren, Cassis, darüber Kardamom und ein Hauch Zimt, darunter eine kalkige Kühle, die mitschwingt, faszinierend dieses Duftspiel. Der Auftakt ist kräftig, ein Mund voll Wein, dabei hochelegant und vertikal, kein Gramm Fett, ungemein präzis und mit viel Druck, trotz der Konzentration bleibt der Wein frisch, die Tannine umgarnen die knackige Frucht, die Säure ist wohl dosiert. Im Abgang enorm langanhaltend, endet auf einen Mix aus roten Früchten und zeigt wiederum einem Touch Kardamom im Retrofinale. Grosse Klasse. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022.

  Underbrush, smoke, cigar wrapper, espresso, spice, dark cocoa, flowers, and the strong sensation of crushed rocks and stones tossed into the Atlantic ocean create the enticing bouquet. On the palate, the wine is medium/full-bodied, elegant, polished, and chalky with layers of sweet, ripe, earthy, red pit fruits, salty tannins, herbs dark chocolate. There is length, minerality, and complexity on the mid-palate and a vibrancy to the red fruits with a strong crushed rock influence in the finish. This is a serious candidate for the wine of the vintage. Made from a blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot,12.8% ABV, pH 3.6. The harvest took place from September 30 - October 6. The yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Only 1,200 cases were produced this year. Drink from 2028-2065. 96-98

  En-Primeur campaign for the 2021 vintage; 4/25/2022-4/29/2022 (Bordeaux): Meaty, savoury (like the Chapelle) but far more perfumed and floral, a little polished plummy fruit, less sour than the other two wines but it’s still present here, Medium plus intensity acidity, wild black plum with a slight peppery underpin. Obvious new oak is contained. A little fruit tea texture to the tannins. S’okay.
