Du fruit rouge à revendre qui se retrouve en bouche aussi, une acidité appuyée avec des tannins qui ont une texture de bouche très approchable, c’est frais, généreux, sérieux et délicieux. 91-92

Gorgeous red fruit on the nose and palate, generous wine with an acidity that is high but brings freshness and such a nice silky texture on the slightly grippy tannins, simply beautiful. — 21 days ago

More formal notes soon. Champagneaux is a star. Stunning.

Nose has gorgeous red berry and cassis fruit along with blackberry essence and bittersweet cocoa from judicious oak usage. Earthy, minerals and granitic. Stunning nose. Palate is so silky, elegant and juicy. Concentrated and nimble. Lovely icing on a cake treacly texture and terrific energy and verve. Long finish. Just a brilliant wine. One of the most accessible top 18’s I’ve had. Tannins are silky and velvety. So sweet. This needs 5 years for oak to integrate and then I see a 9.8. Wow. — a month ago

Love love as always! Is this my favorite vintage for this wine? Maybe not. Does it taste a little less Pineau d’aunis-ey than usual? Probably. But I’m splitting hairs here. Awesome wine that I bet will age well — 5 days ago
