2018 vintage. One of the last vintages for this Château, now integrated ( together with Château Bardis) in Château Charmail, when Bernard d'Hallouin sold 66% of Charmail to external investors in 2021, with the aim to recreate "le grand Charmail". Needs a bit of time to open up, better the next day, decanting recommended. Another fine Haut-Médoc value, with ripe fruit, smooth tannin, well-integrated oak and good length. Abv. 14%. There is still some ageing potential here. — a month ago

Cute little building on the label. Lovely red, red wine color. Smells like I imagine the warm, dry hills of the Rhône must smell. Hint of red berries. Some chaparral stuff (or garrigue as they call it over the pond). Flavors are classic and very clean. Berry jam, fresh cut herbs, beets, little smoke, black licorice. This is a lovely little bottle of red. Crowd pleasing yet complex. The Paul Simon of wines. — 5 months ago

All the berries, some flint, weathered leathered tobacco. Ross favorite. Overlooking Saint Paul de Vence. — 2 months ago

Lovely aromas of smoke, candle wax, marshmallow, garrigue and peach. Medium acidity with a medium-bodied waxy texture. Refreshing — 8 months ago
