Holy cow this is really good. A bit too young, but drinking great anyway. Gorgeously deep, luminous ruby color. Upon a quick double decant, the nose is cookin’, showing deep, ripe cassis and dark juicy plum. There’s also a deep wet clay/mineral component. A little smoky cigar box note. On the palate, yes, the structure is tight, but despite the youthful tannins and surprising acids, the flavors are already singing. Deep, concentrated, focused rich fruit, but with zero jamminess. Very elegant structure. This is supposedly the second wine of Chateau Clos de Sarpe. Can’t imagine how good the grand vin is. — a month ago

Incredible vintage for Lachaux. With even more clarity and definition than the ripe 2018 rendition, 2019 Les Proces is gorgeous tonight, explosively aromatic, and showing incredible purity, elegance and finesse. The palate is pure silk, with minerality and verve and serious depth for a village wine. Magical things happening at this Domaine. Bravo Charles Lachaux. — 2 years ago

2017 vintage. @ Mister A’s Restaurant, San Diego-Les Caves de St. Charles CDP dinner. Initially, an absolute ballbuster. Massive tannins with a modicum of velveteen fruit at the end of a long tunnel. After two hours? Surprise! Change partners and the nearsome, fearsome tanninfest coalesced into the velveteen fruitfest. Remarkable concentration, tho, from start to finish over the course of the dinner. Best newer-vintage CDP, out of roughly 200, that I’ve had in the last two years. Just a remarkable chameleon. Supposedly 50/50 Grenache/Syrah. Worth the hunt. 11.16.23. — 2 years ago

2015 vintage. This 5.5 hectare estate was owned by famous consultant Alain Raynaud who sold it in 2016 to Tom Sullivan. Mainly Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. Attractive nose with red fruits, cedar wood and a hint of truffle. Structured, a little severe still, but good balance and complexity. Will benefit from further bottle ageing. Decanting recommended if you want to enjoy it now. — 4 years ago
