Chateau des Annereaux 2018

- 90-92 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "The 2018 Des Annereaux is deep garnet-purple colored and a little closed, opening to reveal raspberry coulis, blackberry preserves and chocolate-covered cherries scents plus hints of wild thyme and lavender. Medium to full-bodied and understated, with lovely freshness and restraint, it has soft tannins and a mineral-tinged finish."

- 92 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: "This is intense and concentrated and is one of those wines that's just full of flavour, with sweet black cherry, leather and slate, showing notes of liquorice and dark chocolate as it opens. It's succulent, juicy and persistent, with a smoky finish. There's certainly lots going on and it seems to me that they have succeeded in a tough vintage for biodynamic properties. Axel Marchal is consultant here. 32hl/ha yield in 2018. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031"

- 16,5 Punkte JANCIS ROBINSON, Julia Harding: "25-ha vineyard in the west of the appellation. Gravel and sandy-gravel soils. The varietal mix in the vineyard is 83% Merlot, 11% Cab Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon though I don't know the exact make-up of the 2018. 25% new oak. Organic wine.
Deepest crimson. Spicy, rich black fruit. Intense and without unwanted sweetness. Rich and generous on the palate, thickly but smoothly textured by the tannins. Impressive depth of fruit to stand up to the powerful structure and still to give freshness. Very well balanced even with all this concentration."

- 90-91 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "A juicy and fruit young red with blackberry and blueberry character, as well as wet earth. Lots of character. Medium to full body. Soft and silky tannins. Nicely done."
