Chateau La Haye 2018

- 97 Punkte DECANTER, World Wine Awards, Platinum Award und höchste Bewertung aller Bordeaux: „Inviting nose with a subtle fragrance of rhubarb, ripe black fruit, baking spices and touches of chocolate. Peppery on the palate, with a lively acidity and very ripe tannins. It has a wealth of concentration.“

- 91 Punkte, James Suckling: „Blackcurrants, chocolate, cloves, dried herbs and flowers on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with sleek, fine-grained tannins. Refined for the appellation.“ Better from 2023.

- 90 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezenter Wasserrand. Zart kräuterwürzig-tabakig unterlegte Pflaumenfrucht, ein Hauch von Cassis, kandierte Orangenzesten sind unterlegt. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerig, präsente Tannine, frisch strukturiert, kirschig-zitroniger Nachhall, ein unkomplizierter Speisenbegleiter.“

- 16,5 Punkte, Jancis Robinson: „From the Cardon family. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot from 40- to 50-year-old vines on deep gravel and clay. Cold soak for four to seven days. Vatted for 14 to 21 days. Malo in tank. Matured for 14 months for Cabernet and 12 months for Merlot in barriques (46% new).
Deepish healthy crimson. Very firm, concentrated and fresh on the nose. Very St-Estèphe even if a little more precocious than some. Really fresh and vigorous. Lots of ripe fruit and lots of polished tannin followed by impressive length.“ 2026-2038
