Note di degustazione
Always a solid wine and often a screaming value, the 2021 Château La Vieille Cure offers a delicious, medium-bodied, beautifully textured profile as well as quality aromatics of red and black cherries, ripe tobacco, and cedary spice. It's balanced, has fine tannins, and a great finish.

The 2021 La Vieille Cure offers wild strawberry and raspberry on the nose with just a touch of menthol in the background, well-defined overall. The palate is medium-bodied and well-balanced with fine tannins, closing with a fleshy and persistent mocha-tinged finish. This is maybe not a long-term prospect, but it is very commendable for the vintage.
The 2021 La Vieille Cure is a dark, expressive wine. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, new leather and licorice infuse the 2021 with a good bit of complexity. La Vieille Cure is pretty soft in this vintage, yet all the elements are very nicely balanced.
Unusually high alcohol for the vintage, but it stays in balance, with a focus on bitter black chocolate, baking spices and cloves, along with plenty of tannins and powerful raspberry and black cherry fruit. This delivers on En Primeur promise, and is a definite wine to look out for. 40hl/h yield, 40% new oak, Jean Luc Thunevin consultant since 2013, continuing with new owner Jerome Pignard, who has been in place since 2018. Clay limestone soils. Harvest September 30 to October 12.
