Chais Saint Bernard

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

We think something has changed at Montrose after the departure of Jean Bernard Delmas. Its not a bad wine by any means but the style is modern and extracted. At ten years this ie very drinkable and great quality but does not speak to its terroir as it used to. Hope its just one year… — 3 days ago

The most recent vintage of Montrose I’ve had was the 2000 vintage but I’ve have enough experience with the estate going back to vintages in the 1960’s. If it has changed, that’s borderline criminal.

We have same experience, pretty much all vintages from 1966 to 2009. This 2014 is a good wine but little resemblance to our experience in so many vintages. We hope its a one off, but we dont really know. To your point if they changed, well its criminal indeed...

Really coming into its own. Gorgeous nose of grilled meats, black olive, green olive, dark herbs. Mashed dark flowers. So layered, complex and ethereal. 2014. can be so good. Elegant and so supple with terrific granite freshness and fine tannins. Gorgeous berry fruit persists on the extended finish. Fantastic energy and depth here but also not as big as the important vintages. This reminds of the best off vintage Bordeaux from great estates. Really love this. — 3 months ago

Domaine du Chalet Pouilly

Saint-Véran Chardonnay 2017

Family owned and operated since 1850, passing down expertise from one generation to another. Today run by Marie-Eve Léger, who joined parents Agnes and Bernard in 2009 after completing her degree. 100% Chardonnay, pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone fruits with biscuit notes. Palate shows apple and peach flavors, vivid acidity, well balanced. Medium+ finish ending with yeasty character. Very Nice! — 5 years ago

Been over a year and this wine is singing. Nose is so expressive with granite, camphor, herbs, meat, olives, blackberries and smoke. So complex and expressive. Palate is energetic and rich but so supple and juicy with tons of blackberry and darker red fruits. Superbly long finish that just builds and builds. Unreal freshness and suave texture. Just stunning and only just opened. The nose is super leathery after air. — 7 months ago

@Jay Kline used to all be on berceau but he sectioned it out and it’s so lush and approachable.
