Toasty, with a frame of mocha and tobacco notes around ripe plum and blackberry compote flavors. Solid, if a bit obvious in style. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2024. 2,500 cases made, 1,250 cases imported.
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Badette strides confidently out of the glass with notes of warm blackberries, black cherries and plum preserves plus wafts of cedar chest, pencil lead and black truffles. Big, concentrated and full-bodied in the mouth, the muscular fruit has a sturdy, rather rugged frame and a firm finish.
The 2017 Badette is powerful, dense and super-concentrated. Blackberry jam, chocolate, new leather, spice, licorice and plenty of sweet French oak give the 2017 its lush, bold personality. The 2017 has come together nicely during élevage. Most of the angular notes I saw in barrel have softened over time. The 2017 is a super-impressive wine with very good depth, tons of power and plenty of personality. Tasted two times.

A sleeping beauty, this Saint-Émilion estate has been shaken awake by Belgian investor Marc-Andrê Vandenbogaerde who has invested in both the vineyards and the winery, expanding its total holdings to 10.5 hectares with the purchase of a new vineyard close to Château Figeac.
