Château La Chapelle aux Moines
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Spiced plum, black pepper, smoke, and brussels sprout. Good structure and lingering fine tannins.

Feb 23rd, 2015Nice balance. Classic blend, less earthy than most Bordeaux. I love it. Update: I have tried three 2009 bottles over the last few weeks, and they were all great. This is my new house wine. I upped my rating as well. Great value.

Jun 21st, 2013I like this one. Would pair great with Sushi on Fridays. Low concentration. Black Cherry on nose. Smooth and earthy, but light. Short finish.

Apr 29th, 2024Beautifully oak forward, if a little bit too much, especially once it opens up. Missing a bit of body but there's a nice spicy red fruit notes and strong hint of cherries. Quite a nice one for it's price.
