extraprima Médoc, Haut-Médoc, Moulis and Listrac | Bordeaux2018 92 – 93 MAYNE-LALANDE Listrac Suckling 91 – 92 | The success story of Mayne-Lalande continues seamlessly. Mayne-Lalande has been the best Listrac for years. Hubert de Boüard, the owner of Château Angelus, advises at Mayne-Lalande. Lush, sweet, and intense, this serial winner in Listrac shows with a great deal of juice and freshness, that here the severity that often characterizes other terroirs of this appellation plays no part. Fruity, rich extraction, creamy, and with a good portion of meat, the Mayne-Lalande sets its solid tannins in a relaxed and natural style, with excellent depth and intensity. Its great energy radiates on the palate for a long time, making it an excellent value for money from the Haut-Médoc. 92 – 93 POTENSAC Médoc Parker 90 – 92 | Suckling 93 – 94 | Already the second wine La Chapelle of Château Potensac is stunning! The Grand Vin Potensac is already confirmed for years on increasing quality even in difficult vintages as in 2013. The Potensac reached 14.42 % in 2018, ages in 35 % new oak barrels and consists of 45 % Merlot, 36 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 18 % Cabernet Franc and 1 % Petit Verdot. Liqueur, sweetish, and intense in the nose, it has excellent fruit and richness, quite inviting, deep, and lavish. Tight, rich, juicy, and with a lot of fruit, this little Médoc also delights in the mouth. Full and rich on the palate, deep and energetic, it has a very racy structure. Dark-berried, cherry-like, and concentrated, it shows densely structured, impressive tannins, very firm, fresh, and juicy. Good body, opulent, and with solid length. 92 – 93 SÉRILHAN Haut-Médoc Suckling 91 – 92 | Since Hubert de Boüard (Château Angélus) took over the oenological consultation on Sérilhan, he was able to increase the quality continuously. Solid, dense, and sweet, the Sérilhan shows an enormous velvety substance and body. It’s lush, densely woven structure is fed by 60 % Merlot and 40 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Incredibly vast and long, the tannins still show a slightly rough character. But the juicy body and the deeply layered tension cover the tannins easily. 91 – 92 BELGRAVE Haut-Médoc Parker 89 – 91 | Suckling 93 – 94 | The Château Belgrave in the Haut-Médoc is directly adjacent to Lagrange in St.-Julien, Gruaud-Larose and Talbot are also nearby. The 2018 consists of 68 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot, and 2 % Petit Verdot. Dark color. Rich, sweet, and racy, the Belgrave smells of the glass, with fine and youthful fruitiness. It exudes a rich cherry aroma with plenty of juice within and distinctively fine oak. Its creamy texture in the mouth is dense and richly structured, with good, spicy tannins, medium body, concentrated, and delicate in the finish. 91 – 92 CANTEMERLE Haut-Médoc Parker 86 – 88 | Suckling 94 – 95 | The Cantemerle consists of 67 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 % Merlot, 7 % Cabernet Franc and 6 % Petit Verdot. Harvested from 17 th of September to 6 th of October, the Cantemerle is being aged in 40 % new barrels. Dark color, slightly ripened tone. Tasted only once, the sample presented something dull, with a good body and slightly raisiny notes in the background. Tight and full in the mouth, but not very wide or deep, the Cantemerle remains a bit pale and smooth, with compact, slightly dull tannins and a bit pointing acidity. 91 – 92 CITRAN Haut-Médoc Parker 88 – 90 | Suckling 91 – 92 | The successful Citran has a black color, is super-rich and viscous in the glass. Dense, sweet, massive, and full-bodied, the Citran is very meaty, deeply woven with fine oaky spices. With a beautiful structure and a powerful body, it has as well good length but a slightly dry finish. Wide and complex, with a lot of pressure and power, it reminds of its legendary phase from 1988 to 1991, including the memorable Citran 1990. 91 – 92 FOURCAS-BORIE Listrac The regularly slightly over-extracted Fourcas-Borie finds its wonderful balance in 2018 and surpasses the neighbors Fourcas-Hosten (90 – 91) and Fourcas- Dupré (89 – 90) instantly. The Grand Vin of 77 % Merlot, 15 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 8 % Petit Verdot ages in 25 % new barrels. Tight, concentrated, and crispy, the Fourcas-Borie is quite round and creamy, with a slightly sweet-sour fruit component and plenty of tannins. With racy acidity and good, full-bodied structure, it remains a bit obvious. If some complexity adds to it in the future, it could outgrow from the present effort and compete with Mayne-Lalande within the Listrac appellation. 91 – 92 LES GRANDS CHÊNES Médoc Parker 89 – 91 | Suckling 93 – 94 | The Les Grands Chênes from the Médoc is always one of the most attractive and affordable wines in the portfolio of Bernard Magrez who is the owner of Château Pape-Clément and the many other estates in Bordeaux and the whole world. The Les Grands Chênes has an absolutely impenetrable black color. Rich, fresh, and highly concentrated, it smells intense and fruity from the glass. It shows great energy and verve as well as depth and detailed aromatics. It has a powerful attack in the mouth, with a lot of pressure and fine acidity, full-bodied structure and rich sweetness with good depth. This is an excellent Les Grands Chênes with a cool dark fruit component and chocolaty notes. 91 – 92 MAUVESIN-BARTON Moulis Suckling 92 – 93 | Mauvesin-Barton is the latest acquisition of the Barton family, who is the owner of the famous Léoville-Barton. The 2018 Mauvesin-Barton consists of 54 % Merlot, 39.5 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.5 % Cabernet Franc with 13.5 % alcohol, aged in 33 % new barrels of three different coopers. Mauvesin-Barton seems to be very relaxed in the 2018 vintage, full and intense. Uncomplicated and with dense fruit component, this excellent Moulis has a rich extraction with a meaty body and racy structure. Quite long and with good depth, the Mauvesin-Barton is recommended for easy drinking. 91 – 92 LA TOUR CARNET Haut-Médoc Parker 90 – 92 | Suckling 92 – 93 | The La Tour Carnet has a massive color with a viscous texture. In two tastings, it was always very concentrated and full, with chocolaty wood and scents of Amarena cherries, only the core flavor, however, did not entirely open. Saturated and rich in the mouth, it has a cool and linear structure with ripe and warm fruit, as well as a heavy punch and intense fleshy body. The tannins are somewhat dull and slightly less brilliant. In fact, I trust this wine is able to achieve a higher quality level with aging. 19

Bordeaux2018 | Médoc, Haut-Médoc, Moulis and Listrac extraprima 20 90 – 91 D’ARSAC Haut-Médoc Parker 89 – 91 | Suckling 92 – 93 | The d’Arsac 2018 consists of 72 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 28 % Merlot. It was aged half in tank and half in wooden barrels, half of the barriques were new. The d’Arsac is fresh and powerful, richly structured, well-cut, and carries the warm year within its fruit aroma. In the nose, a hint of banana peels testifies to a strong extraction, which is reflected in the cool tannin structure with fine acidity. 90 – 91 BELLE-VUE Haut-Médoc Parker 89 – 91 | Suckling 92 – 93 | The Belle-Vue recommends itself as a polished, modern, and very attractive Haut-Médoc with excellent aging potential. It consists of 48 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot, 20 % Petit Verdot as well as 1 % each of Cabernet Franc and Carmenere. It is aged in 30 % new barrels and reached 14 % alcohol — dark, viscous color. Dense, sweet, and intense in the smell, Belle-Vue shows a lot of spices and fruit, with good juiciness in it and fine depth. Compact, racy and taut it starts in the mouth, showing lots of juice and richness here as well, with a wiry and clear structure, ripe tannins and a creamy, chewy body. This is a modern, harmonious wine made with great know-how. 90 – 91 BRILLETTE Moulis Parker 90 – 92 | The Brillette consists of 60 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 26 % Merlot and 4 % Petit Verdot. It was harvested from 20 th September to 10 th October with a yield of 32 hl per hectare. Thick, full, with racy spices and notes of chocolate, the Brillette shows a lot of juice on the midpalate but gets slightly dull and dry towards the finish. Considerably harmonious and transparent, this wine should grow together well. 90 – 91 CAMENSAC Haut-Médoc Suckling 91 – 92 | The Camensac showed a slightly mature color. With luscious and sweet cherry aromas, the smell presents itself a bit superficial and with only little depth. Good freshness in the mouth and tightly structured, the Camensac then remains a bit hollow in the middle. With a lot of juice and body, it dubbs this light »whole« until the tannins then strike back a little bit dull, accompanied by a hard acidity. Better to taste again after bottling. 90 – 91 CHASSE-SPLEEN Moulis Decanter 92 | The color of Chasse-Spleen is unusually dark. It has a rich, dense fruit on the nose with slightly indifferent notes. In the mouth, it shows a little acidity and a lot of tannins rather. It has a hollow middle, which remains a bit dull and empty. All this does not sound like a typical Chasse-Spleen. It could be better after bottling. 90 – 91 DEMOISELLE DE SOCIANDO Haut-Médoc Suckling 90 – 91 | The excellent Demoiselle de Sociando-Mallet represents about 30 % of the production and ages in 30 % new barrels, consisting of 65 % Merlot and 35 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Super-dense and concentrated, with a great, rich, dark-berry fruit and raisiny top notes in the nose. The Demoiselle is quite fresh and firm, limpidly oriented, and compact on the palate. The slightly sharp acidity should soften with aging. Reminiscent of the outstanding 2010! 90 – 91 DUCLUZEAU Listrac Suckling 87 – 88 | Ducluzeau in Listrac is a sister property of the famous Ducru-Beaucaillou from Saint-Julien. It consists of 78 % Merlot and 11 % each of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dense, sweet, and spicy, it shows not very much Bordeaux character. Very lush and fresh, with a rich tannin structure, this attractive consumer wine appeals to a modern, urban audience. Ratings in red and all descriptions by Thomas Boxberger © 2019.
