Marielle Cazaux – Chateau La Conseillante
Pomerol
4–19 for the Merlot and 21–30 for the Franc, more or less in line with
what has become the norm of late. As usual, the malos were done in
steel. Aging is 70 % new oak, 27 % once-used barrels and 3 % amphora.
It’s a brilliant effort from Technical Director Marielle Cazaux and her
team.
Martin 96 – 98 | The 2020 La Conseillante was picked September 14–17
for the Merlot and September 21–30 for the Cabernet Franc (eight picking
days), the yields coming in at 37 hl / ha, and matured in 70 % new
oak. Of the 13 parcels, four underwent vinification intégrale this year.
Iridescent purple in color. The nose makes an immediate impression,
delivering pure and quite precocious black currants and crushed iris
flowers; subtle touches of morello cherries develop with aeration. It is
beautifully defined and the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied
with succulent, ripe tannins that disguise the backbone of
this exquisitely balanced Pomerol. A discreet crescendo leads to a pixelated
finish of awe-inspiring persistency. The old »iron fist in a velvet
glove« cliché rings true here. A deeply impressive and quite profound La
Conseillante courtesy of Marielle Cazaux and her team.
Suckling 98 – 99 | The balance and energy to this is very impressive with
blackberry, black-olive, tar and walnut character. It’s full, but very compact
with superb tannin quality that is intense, yet so fine-grained,
building layers on the palate. A subtle and structured young wine. It
really goes on and on.

extraprima 96 – 97 | La Fleur Pétrus hat mit 18,7 Hektar
eine beachtliche Größe erreicht. Kies und tiefer Lehm
liegen über dem eisenhaltigen »crasse de fer«. Geerntet
wurde vom 10. bis 20. September per Hand, die
Assemblage besteht aus 93 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet
Franc und 2 % Petit Verdot, der Ausbau erfolgt zu 50 % in neuem
Holz. Dunkle, dichte, sehr viskose, massive Farbe, nicht ganz
schwarz. Offensiv und duftig, zeigt sich der LFP sehr entgegenkommend
und aromatisch voll ausgereift im Geruch. Der 2020er besitzt
eine sehr gute, würzige Frucht, mit schönen, fleischigen Noten von
roten Früchten, Kirsche und dunklen Beeren darin und zeigt eine
ausgezeichnete Tiefenstaffelung. Saftig, abgerundet, weich und sehr
verspielt, schmeichelt der La Fleur Pétrus mit nachsaftend-cremiger
Extraktsüße und viel Schmelz den Gaumen. Die Gerbstoffe sind von
guter Feinkörnigkeit, die Säure perfekt eingebunden. Der LFP 2020
erscheint sehr stimmig und rund, mit dem klaren Versprechen, dass
er sich schon früh nach der Füllung nahbar zeigen wird. Sehr gelungener
La Fleur Pétrus mit Länge und feinem, stoffigem Nachhall.
Parker 95 – 97 | Very deep purple-black colored, the 2020 la Fleur-Petrus
leaps from the glass with bold expressions of baked black plums, molten licorice,
Indian spices and blackberry preserves, plus hints of charcuterie, black
olives and crushed rocks with a touch of unsmoked cigars. The full-bodied
palate delivers compelling tension to the rich, hedonic black fruits, framed
by firm, grainy tannins, finishing very long and tantalizingly savory.
Galloni 94 – 96 | The 2020 La Fleur-Pétrus is wonderfully elegant and
polished. Fine tannins give the 2020 its sophisticated feel. Succulent red
cherry, cedar, tobacco, smoke and dried herbs all build. A whole range
of floral, savory and mineral notes infuse the finish with tons of character.
Medium in body and persistent, with real linear energy, the 2020 is
all class. La Fleur-Pétrus is, above all else, a wine of understatement and
elegance. The 2020 is especially fine.
Martin 94 – 96 | The 2020 La Fleur-Pétrus has an engaging, complex
nose that you want to just keep … well, nosing. It offers a maze of black
cherry, bilberry, crushed rock, freshly rolled tobacco and light marine
aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry, cracked black
pepper, sea salt and light briny notes. This is quite a serious La Fleur-
Pétrus; in fact, it’s not a million miles away from the 2020 Trotanoy. It
will deserve cellaring for several years but will be worth waiting for.
Suckling 99 – 100 | Purple berry and blackberry aromas with cracked
black pepper, violets and lavender. It’s full-bodied and layered and
broadens in the mouth. Gorgeous, ripe tannins. Long and thought-provoking.
A milestone for the vineyard.
