Château de Chainchon - Valmy Dubourdieu-Lange 2014
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"In the glass, intense aromas of incredible freshness, centered around blackcurrant, raspberry, and morello cherry, accompanied by sweet spices, licorice, and toasted bread. On the palate? Fruit, fruit, and more fruit! A crisp and explosive fruitiness accompanies a palate that is both powerful and refined, full-bodied and long-lasting. A bottle that is already devilishly charming, but with enormous potential." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

About wine:
This label is no stranger to acclaim: the 1996, 1998, and 2012 vintages have all been featured in these pages. Like its predecessors, the 2014 version showcases the oldest vines at Ch. de Chainchon, planted around forty years ago on a very steep hillside, completely grassed and cultivated with low yields. In the glass, intense aromas of incredible freshness, centered around blackcurrant, raspberry, and morello cherry, accompanied by sweet spices, licorice, and toast. On the palate? Fruit, fruit, and more fruit! A crisp and explosive fruitiness accompanies a palate that is both powerful and refined, full-bodied and long. A bottle that is already devilishly charming, but with enormous potential.
About the estate:
Former cellar master at a Saint-Émilion classified growth, Patrick Érésué has been running Château de Chainchon (22 hectares) in Castillon-Côtes-de-Bordeaux since 1996, which has been in his family since 1846. He created the Valmy Dubourdieu-Lange cuvée, a sure bet in the appellation, and began the estate's conversion to organic farming (certified in 2013).

A pleasant surprise, even though I'm not usually a fan of Bordeaux. A beautiful bottle with just the right amount of oakiness, a harmonious wine.

Note and opinion by Mr. BERTRAND C. Published on 04/14/2018
Dark color, very expressive red fruit nose, lively attack, beautiful texture supported by great freshness, powerful and long. Lots of potential!

Note and opinion by Mr. JEAN PAUL M. Published on 03/24/2018
Still quite astringent and well-structured wine. Worth waiting at least 3 years.

Review and opinion by Mr. DAVID S. Published on 03/11/2018
How awful. Much too young. Almost undrinkable. It absolutely must be left to age for at least three years, in the hope that it will improve.
