    2018 Château de Haute-Serre »Géron Dadine« Cahors A.C.
    Der Prestigewein des Château de Haute-Serre ist der »Géron Dadine« – benannt nach dem Erbauer des Château. Dieser Rotwein ist ein ernsthafter, tanninreicher, samtiger und natürlich tiefschwarzer Malbec mit Aromen von reifen schwarzen und roten Früchten und einem Hauch würziger Noten, der gut und gerne fünf Jahre Flaschenlager braucht, bis sich seine Kanten gerundet haben. Es tut sich was im Cahors. Die legendäre Weinregion, die im 19. Jahrhundert in einem Atemzug mit Pauillac oder Margaux genannt wurde, erlebt seit einigen Jahren eine beachtliche Renaissance. Großen Anteil daran hat Georges Vigouroux. Nachdem die Reblausplage Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts den Bestand an Malbec-Stöcken auf klägliche 1% minimiert hatte und die einst so begehrten Weinlagen über ein halbes Jahrhundert dem Verfall geweiht waren, nutzte Georges Vigouroux 1971 die Stunde Null, um das Hochplateau des Château de Haute- Serre mit alten Malbec-Klonen zu rekultivieren. Das brachte ihm zwar einiges Kopfschütteln ein, aber die Maßnahme sollte sich als echter Clou erweisen. Die kapriziöse Rebsorte, das spezielle Mikroklima und der seltene Kimmeridge (mit Kalk vermischte Tonerde), der die Höhenlagen durchzieht, waren wie füreinander geschaffen. »Dieser Weitblick hat das Cahors wieder zum Blühen gebracht und heute ernten wir die Früchte«, sagt Bertrand Vigouroux, der das Werk seines Vaters konsequent weiterführt. Und in der Tat: Die Qualität der Weine war schon in der Vergangenheit grandios, aber das optimale Alter der Rebstöcke, die absolut penible Selektion der reifsten Beeren und sinnvolle Verbesserungen in der Kellertechnik kitzeln die Subtilität der Aromen noch besser heraus und lassen die Gerbstoffe noch feiner werden. »Named after the 15th-century owner of the chateau, this wine comes from selected parcels of the estate. It is packed with youthful, ripe tannins that are just beginning to soften and melt into the swathes of black fruits. It is a powerful wine, although not one that is overbearing. Drink from 2023.« Wine Enthusiast

    2017 Château d'Armailhac tbd
    Château d’Armailhac bleibt seinem Entwicklungstrend der letzten Jahre treu. Ein Charmeur, sexy, in der Frucht süße Kirscharomen. Tannine und Säure wunderbar eingebunden. Wer früh in den Genuss eines hervorragenden Pauillac kommen möchte, sollte hier zugreifen. Wine Enthusiast: 92/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. This is a structured wine with ample fruit notes. Swathes of blackberry and delicious, juicy acidity come together with the dry core on the palate. In a style that will age quickly, it is already showing a ripe, generous character."  James Suckling: 94/100 Punkte "Opulent and powerful for d'Armailhac with blackcurrants, blackberries and black olives. Full-bodied, tannic and extremely muscular. Very well done indeed."   Wine Spectator: 90-93/100 Punkte "Juicy and forward, with anise-tinged plum and cherry fruit backed by a light brambly structure. A lingering chalk echo adds length. This delivers nice latent depth."   Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 90-92/100 Punkte "A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2017 D'Armailhac is deep garnet-purple in color and very open on the nose with expressive notes of crushed black cherries, black raspberries and cassis with hints of baking spices, lavender and wood smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with a great core of vibrant red and black fruits, ripe, grainy tannins and superb freshness, finishing long and minerally."  Vinous (Neal Martin): 90-92/100 Punkte "The 2017 d'Armailhac has an opulent bouquet despite this comprising one of the highest percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon ever, which Philippe Dhalluin attributes to the maturity of the berries. There is some lovely cassis and blueberry fruit here with a smear of vanilla. The palate is structured with fine tannin, here the Cabernets are much more expressive with a fine bead of acidity, an attractive pencil lead tincture coming through towards the finish. This is a more floral d'Armailhac that will drink well for the next decades. [Readers should note that my sample included 60% new oak although the final blend will be 40%.] Tasted three times with consistent notes."

    2017 Château Cos D'Estournel Bordeaux - in 6er Holzkiste
    Auf Cos d’Estournel ist Verlass, 2017 kann als voller Erfolg verzeichnet werden. Hat man doch die Vorzüge der sehr guten Merlot-Lagen genutzt und immerhin 30 % von der in Saint-Estèphe so beliebten Rebsorte verwendet. Die Tannine sind seidig und wirken sehr frisch, dazu eine wunderbare Länge – Chapeau! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-100/100 Punkte  "The final blend of the 2017 Cos d'Estournel is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, it offers up intense scents of crushed blackcurrants, blackberries and black cherries with touches of incense, spice cake, star anise and plum preserves plus a perfumed hint of potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with very firm yet wonderfully ripe, "sweet", fine-grained tannins at just 13% alcohol-something of a miracle in our modern times. The palate sports fantastic freshness and tons of energy emitted from the intensely perfumed black fruit layers, finishing on an epically long-lingering mineral note. Truly profound."  Weinwisser: 18/20 Punkte "66 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 % Merlot, 1 % Petit Verdot, 1 % Cabernet Franc. 43 hl/ha. 40 % Grand Vin. Granatrubin mit funkelnden Reflexen und violettem Rand. Komplexes, rotbeeriges Bouquet, Wildkirsche, rote Johannisbeeren und Eisenkraut. Im zweiten Ansatz würziges Rosenholz und heller Tabak. Am eleganten Gaumen mit seidigem Tannin und gutem Zug. Im geradlinigen Finale mit Wacholder und Kirschhäuten, der Wein wirkt aktuell etwas burschikos und endet mit zarter Adstringenz. Zurück zur Klassik! 2023 – 2040" James Suckling: 97-98/100 Punkte  "Love tasting this wine. You almost want to drink it for its harmony and balance. Full-bodied and so complete with cloves, spices, dark berries and hints of chocolate. Wonderful integration on the finish." Wine Enthusiast: 96/100 Punkte  "Barrel Sample. This impressive wine is serious, dense and richly endowed with great swathes of black plum. An excellent wine from this estate, ripe black fruits, layers of acidity and dark tannins are perfectly poised. This is a wine for long-term aging." Vinous (Neal Martin): 94-96/100 Punkte "The 2017 Cos d’Estournel is matured in 60% new oak and comprises 13% alcohol, approximately the same as the 2016. It has a more expressive and welcoming bouquet than usual, maybe more indicative of how this wine will mature in bottle, less opaque than the 2016. A common theme throughout the range from Cos d’Estournel is a Pauillac-inspired backbone/tannic structure coupled with an attractive scent wafting over from the estuary...think mudflats, oyster shells and the tang of sea spray. It gains a little intensity with aeration but never fully lets go. The palate is very well balanced with filigree tannin, rendering this one of the most approachable barrel samples from the estate in recent years. The coolness of the latter part of the season defines this Saint-Estèphe more than the precocity of June: streamlined, cool and linear with a velvety finish that feels sleek, to the point of being understated, though that belies its length and focus. This is simply a very classy wine in the making and typical of the more recent sophisticated style pursued by the property in recent years.“ Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

Only very brief excerpts from this text have previously appeared in print. Volume I (MET 63) contains the first complete edition of this history of the world, together with a textual apparatus. The present volume consists of an introduction with a comprehensive discussion of the manuscript, its language and provenance, the source texts, the compiler's method, and six illustrations, as well as a detailed commentary and glossary.
