Note di degustazione
Bright red-ruby. Plum, toffee, smoky minerality and a hint of game on the nose. Lush, sexy and sweet, with dark fruit flavors complicated by a flinty quality. Solid acidity gives this wine good mid-palate verve and leavens its sweetness. Finishes with dusty, firm tannins. Good stuff: I'd wait three or four years before pulling the cork.

The 2009 Chambrun, cropped at 20 hectoliters per hectare, is a final blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc that hit just over 14% natural alcohol. Bottled unfined and unfiltered by oenologist Michel Rolland, the wine possesses notes of chocolate fudge, blackberry jam, toasty oak, charcoal and graphite. A superb texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a terrific finish all make for a wine that should cost two or three times what this will fetch. Drink it over the next decade. These are two absolutely spectacular, over-achieving wines from Silvio Denz, who has managed to do the same brilliant work at St.-Emilion’s Chateau Faugeres and his Cotes de Bordeaux-Castillon property, Cap de Faugeres. There are two cuvees from this 21-acre vineyard planted on a clay and silex-like flinty soil over a deep bed of limestone.
Blueberries and chili on the nose. Full body, with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. The texture is beautiful to this wine. Try in 2015. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
Fabulous aromas of crushed berry and blackberry, with hints of mineral and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and a clean, fresh finish. The is the third year of Silvio Denz's ownership of the estate, and it gets better and better. 90 percent Merlot and 10 percent Cabernet Franc
