Clear, medium ruby to garnet in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary and secondary aromas of black cherries, cassis, and graphite; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and intense primary and secondary flavors of blackberries, black cardamom, and wet gravel with a medium finish. This wine is simple, but balanced. Overall, I rate this wine as good. — 4 months ago
Excellent! It took very little time to breathe which was unexpected for a 2011. We will be buying more of this if we can find it. — 2 years ago

just got back from Bordeaux and the Périgord. I brought some treats from the area to share with friends and just grabbed this wine out of my cellar. This wine was drinking great, very full bodied with dark cherry, plum, and cassis. Also, a bit tobacco, cedar, licorice and leather all around. Everyone commented how great this was drinking. Got to find some more. — a month ago

2018 vintage. A more flashy, extracted style compared to stable mates Villemaurine and Sansonnet, but very well done. — 2 years ago
A very alluring blend, still young. — 3 years ago
It has matured flavor over 10 years. But need to wait at least for 30 minutes. Gentle, matured black fruits with acidity and tanning. Now is the time to drink! So 9.0 Château Larmande Le Cadet de Larmande St. Emilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2011 @1240, domaine -, 220520-220523 — 4 years ago

Beautiful old fashioned claret. Nothing over the top here. Just great quality St E. 2001 was drinking perfectly. — 6 years ago
Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary and secondary aromas of black plums, graphite, and leather; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of cherries, blueberries, and clay pots with a medium finish. This wine is complex and intense. It's a little hot for my tastes and probably needs to breath. Overall, I rate this wine as good. — 2 months ago
Bought the bottle at the winery in France. Raspberry and dark fruit bouquet. Delicate up front. Soft earthy taste in the middle. Leather and vanilla(?) on the back. Medium earthy finish. Perfect with Chicago deep dish pizza! Definitely not a fruit bomb from California! — 2 years 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. — 3 years ago
2017 Full bodied and a smooth after taste. — 5 years ago
