extraprima Graves and Péssac-Léognan rouge | Bordeaux2018 91 – 92 RAHOUL Graves rouge Parker 89 – 91 | Suckling 92 – 93 | The Rahoul belongs to the estates of the Dourthe group. Between 45 and 50 hl per hectare could be harvested at Rahoul. The assemblage consists of 60 % Merlot, 38 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 2 % Petit Verdot with 13.5 % alcohol and 30 % new barrels. Black color. Tight, full, and roasted in the nose, with lots of new oak. Roasted, sweet, and with dark-berry to cherry fruit, Rahoul starts in the mouth. It carries a lot of body, strength, and a balsamic sweetness and shows high concentration and richness. Château Carbonnieux 90 – 91 CARBONNIEUX Péssac-Léognan rouge Parker 91 – 93 | Suckling 92 – 93 | Solid 33 hl per hectare were harvested at Carbonnieux. The assemblage consists of 60 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot, and 5 % each, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The Carbonnieux has 14 % alcohol and ages in 40 % new barrels. Massive color with purple rim. It shows a slightly indifferent nose with little fruit flavors, dull and herbaceous, yet dense, with liqueur-like notes and balsamic sweetness. Spicy in the mouth, with plenty of power and a slight creaminess. Yet, little core-flavor comes through, the middle keeps hollow, with a dull aroma. Somewhat rough and crude, the Carbonnieux has a favorable overall concentration, but all this has to come together. 90 – 91 DE CÉRONS Graves rouge Parker 85 – 87 | Suckling 89 – 90 | One half each, of the de Cérons, is Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and half of the aging is done in new barrels. It represents a lot of substance, is full and concentrated, the tannins remain slightly dull, the aromatic seems mashed and imprecise. Nevertheless, de Cérons has good dark-berry fruit, showing meat and chocolate with dense structure. 90 – 91 CHANTEGRIVE Graves rouge Parker 88 – 90 | Suckling 90 – 91 | The well-made Chantegrive consists of 60 % Merlot and 40 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 35 hl per hectare were harvested, with 13 % alcohol content, supported by 35 % new barrels for aging. Dark color. It has an open nose with quite lush top notes and restrained core-flavor. Opulent and full, it shows on the palate, with some dull tannins and slightly hard charisma. Its crystalline acidity adds crisp freshness, and the midpalate looks a bit hollow, the structure tight. 90 – 91 CLOS FLORIDÈNE Graves rouge Parker 87 – 89 | Decanter 88 | The Clos Floridène consists of 70 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 30 % Merlot, aged in 33 % new barrels. The fleshy Clos Floridène is dense, sweet, and lush. A vibrant acidity leads the regiment, with slightly shallow tannins, lots of pulp, but only limited finesse — a quickly accessible good wine to enjoy. 90 – 91 COUHINS LURTON Péssac-Léognan rouge Parker 89 – 91 | Suckling 92 – 93 | Dark color. The nose carries a dense concentration, some chocolate, currently little depth. Round and very lively in the mouth, it has good tension and differentiated depth. Very fresh, it stays on the palate for a long time, only a little bit the tannins dominate in the finish. 90 – 91 GRAND ENCLOS DE CÉRONS Graves rouge The Grand Enclos consists of 60 % Merlot and 40 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Dense, matured, with a lot of creaminess, and a cool-toned, precisely staggered fruit and delicate oak, the Grand Enclos shows a lot of power of spicy Cabernet. Profound, with spices, most exceptional roasted notes, and subtle sweetness, the Merlot gives it a silky richness. Lively, well-structured, deep, and multifaceted, this well-made Graves is very commendable as an inexpensive Bordeaux. 90 – 91 HAUT-BERGEY Péssac-Léognan rouge Parker 90 – 92 | Suckling 91 – 92 | With the 2018 vintage, Haut-Bergey was certified biodynamic; the yield was a mere 20 hl per hectare. 42 % Merlot, 40 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 % Cabernet Franc and 6 % Petit Verdot came with 13.5 % into the assemblage. Dark, viscous. Discrete nose with little aroma, dark berry fruit in the background. It has a dry and hard structure in the mouth with a dull aftertaste. It remains completely dry and can hopefully be more aromatic with further aging. 90 – 91 PEYRAT Graves rouge Reductively closed, with a rich sweetness and fresh fruit, not very broad, the Peyrat shows quite good overall potential. 90 – 91 LE PRÉLAT DE PAPE-CLÉMENT Graves rouge Parker 87 – 89 | Suckling 90 – 91 | The third wine of Pape-Clément is impressive. It consists of 77 % Merlot, 20 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 3 % Cabernet Franc. Dense and meaty, with a lot of dark-berry-scented extract and spiciness, lush, with distinct texture, and firm tannins. 90 – 91 VIEUX CHÂTEAU GAUBERT Péssac-Léognan rouge The Vieux Château Gaubert is a characterful wine. With its raspy note, it reminds a little bit of Pinot Noir, sweet and concentrated. Wide-spread and puristic in the mouth, it is clearly structured, intensive, liqueur-like notes within, a bit simplistic but exciting. At the back, the tannins beat. 89 – 90 BROWN | LA GRADE | LESPAULT-MARTILLAC Péssac-Léognan rouge 88 – 89 BARTET | COUHINS | FERRAN | Péssac-Léognan rouge | HAURA | Graves rouge 49
