Cuvée Héritage — 2 months ago
1989 vintage. A rather obscure Cru Classé that was owned at the time by the Jabiol family. In 2009 it was sold to a French insurance group who sadly incorporated Cadet Piola into Soutard. Last vintage of Cadet-Piola produced was 2011. Typical of this estate was the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the vineyards ( 28%). Considering the quality of this beautiful 34 years old Saint-Emilion and the original label ( drawn by a previous owner), it is a pity to see it disappear, but apparently, it lost its classification in 2012, which is probably the explanation. Anyway, this is a delicious wine that shows no signs of fatigue with a deep red colour, an attractive cedary, black fruit nose that could be mistaken for left bank. In the mouth, it still shows good, ripe fruit, with an impeccable balance and a long , cedary finish. Abv. 13%. Well worth seeking out. — 9 months ago
Excellent! It took very little time to breathe which was unexpected for a 2011. We will be buying more of this if we can find it. — a month ago

Last evening we opened the 2018 Château Soutard-Cadet. A Right Bank Bordeaux from Saint-Emilion. Bottled at Château Sansonnet a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
On the nose there is juicy dark black fruit black cherry, blackberry, black plum, blueberry, vanilla, allspice, violets and wet damp earth.
On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, cassis, camphor, cedar, sandalwood, chocolate and rich dark earth.
This is a full bodied wine with a smooth velvety mouthfeel medium +acidity and racy medium+ tannins with some grip that moves nicely into a long rich dark fruit and woodsy finish. The weekend looks to be cold here and we will, I am sure, have some more red wines. Have a great weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago
