Tasting notes

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, February 2018 93

This shows plenty of wet earth and blueberry and black-olive character. Full body, fine and round tannins and a juicy finish. Hot stones and gravel. Intense. Yes. Drink now or hold.

Neal Martin, March 2018 90

The 2015 La Chenade, which was so impressive from barrel, has retained that gorgeous, pure bouquet that is floral in style, still with that candied tincture. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red berry fruit, touches of Early Grey and a sweet, candied finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. Just plain delicious. Anticipated maturity: 2019 - 2027.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, November 2022 91

In 2015 La Chenade was blended from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, giving a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It shoots from the glass with expressive fruitcake, stewed plums and Chinese five spice scents, followed by hints of dusty soil and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a chewy texture and bags of spicy black fruit preserves, finishing on a lingering, ferrous note.

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2016 16

Purplish crimson. Quite sweet and meaty. Gentle - obviously not top drawer but fun and easy. A bit tart and dry on the end. Needs food. Wait awhile? Fine sandy tannins in abundance. Sweet oak.Drink 2020-2027

Derek Smedley MW, DerekSmedleyMW.co.uk, April 2016 89/91

Violets, black fruits the nose has lots of charm the palate is sweet fruited with fleshy black plum. Brighter and fresher in the middle but at the back there is richness and depth fleshy and ripe. 2021-32

Tim Atkin MW, timatkin.com, April 2016 91

Denis Durantou’s wine comes from gravel soils and tends to have a mineral note to it. Thisis scented, attractive and full of succulent blackberry, raspberry and bramble fruit flavours,supported by tannins that creep up on you and provide structure. Drink: 2020-28

Matthew Jukes, Matthew Jukes' Blog, April 2016 17+

A very impressive La Chenade with a longer finish than usual and more layers and tension. There are some refreshing herbal / mint notes which break up the density of the fruit and the overall feeling is refreshing which is exciting given the depth of sooty fruit in the mid-palate.

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (224), April 2016 91/93

The 2015 La Chenade is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc picked between September 15-25 and on October 5 respectively, cropped at 45 hectoliters per hectare and matured in 30% new oak. This Lalande-de-Pomerol moves towards red fruit on the nose, crushed strawberry and raspberry pastilles, candied and somehow...joyful. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very fine in the mouth with a keen line of acidity. This is a very cohesive La Chenade, elegant and composed with a touch of salinity towards the finish. This is a graceful La Chenade that should drink early, but clearly has the substance to offer 12-15 years of drinking pleasure. Drink 2018-2032
