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. — 7 months ago

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. — a year ago
