Château Chante Clerc

Château Clerc Milon

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

9.0

2 hours of air and drank over 5 hours. Great nose, somewhat muted. Graphite, violets, red currant, and red berry. Fruit was in the background and tannins were clay-ey. I stole this from another comment on another vintage but it fit too perfectly to not use. Was good but was expecting more. Will chalk up to a wine that should benefit from 5 more years. — 17 days ago

Saint-Romain Chardonnay 2020

2020 vintage. Last tasted 01.09.25 (9.3) and 01.24.24 (9.3). Featuring less acidity than last two visits. Still nice but not as nice. Maybe an outlier bottle? 9.26.25. — 3 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, did you notice any newish oak? About 10-15 years I bought a Chamte Cigale VV (after having much older vintages), the wine I bought had GREAT reviews, but I just despise oodles of new oak in my CdPs!?!?

@Doug Powers I did some research. 70% of the wine was kept on stainless steel and 30% in new barrels for 12 months. The wine was balanced with well integrated wood. We even dit not notice it. Making choices for more or less wood seems very difficult to me. Perhaps you had the wine when the vintner was still searching for the perfect recipe? But certainly you might try it again.
