Les Jardins De Soutard

Castillo Perelada

Jardins Negre Empordà Garnatxa Negra Blend 2022

¡Que guay! Resplendent in aromas of raspberries, blackberries, and especially plums. Confirms my adoration of the Empordà region and the Garnaxa Negre varietal. Shockingly good for 4.99€. — 2 months ago

Château Cadet-Piola

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

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. — a year ago

2018 vintage. A more flashy, extracted style compared to stable mates Villemaurine and Sansonnet, but very well done. — 2 months ago

Château Grand-Pontet

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. The last vintage for this wine as it was bought from the Bécot family ( owners of Beauséjour-Bécot) by the owners of Haut-Brion in 2021. It will be incorporated into Château Quintus (which is a merger of 3 estates: Tertre-Daugay, L'Arrosée and Grand-Pontet). Many Saint-Emilion estates disappeared, incorporated into other estates, some very good wines sadly disappeared like Curé Bon La Madeleine (now into Canon), Cadet-Piola (now into Soutard) and so on. The fact that Grand Cru Classés can legally be incorporated into Premier Grands Crus Classés tells you that you have to take the classification with more than a grain of salt. A bit shy on the nose, even after a few hours. Medium-bodied, nice value for a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé. — 2 years ago

Peach pit, nice and smooth. Absolutely smashed it with a dish of blistered snap beans in a dill dressing. — 3 months ago

Château Moulin du Cadet

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Previous owner Alain Mouiex (also Château Fonroque) sold this tiny (less than 3 hectares) estate to the owners of Château Sansonnet, Cadet Soutard, Villemaurine and Harmonie in 2015, the Lefévère family. Tasting this excellent 2019, it seems that Marie-Bénédicte Lefévère is doing a great job here. Made from 100% Merlot, it is lush and restrained at the same time. Ripe, layered fruit, fresh acidity, and a distinctive minerality make the 14,5% alcohol go unnoticed. Excellent value too, highly recommended. — 4 months ago

Nice! I have a couple bottles of this in the cellar. Drink now, or wait? Thoughts?

Château Bouscassé

Les Jardins Philosophiques Petit Courbu Petit Manseng 2017

9.2

Fragrant nose with peach, pineapple, orange peel, lime, honey, and chrysanthemum. Medium to full body. Vibrant and intense, soften by creamy texture which is surprising given that this did not see any oaks. Hint of sweetness but dry. Great winemaking.

70/30 Petit Courbu/Petit Manseng.
