Château Malescasse Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois AOP 2022

The Château Malescasse 2022 comes from Lamarque, which is located in the renowned Haut-Médoc appellation, between Margaux and Saint-Julien. This historic estate, classified as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, benefits from the region’s characteristic gravelly soils, which provide ideal conditions for growing high-quality Bordeaux grape varieties. The 2022 vintage is composed of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45.5% Merlot, and 5.5% Petit Verdot, reflecting both the power of the exceptional 2022 vintage and the elegance of its terroir.The grapes are carefully selected and vinified by plot to optimally highlight the distinctive characteristics of each vineyard. The wine is then aged for 12 months, one-third of which is spent in new barriques, imparting additional complexity, structure, and aging potential. The result is a characterful Haut-Médoc with great aging potential that offers much enjoyment even in its youth but can continue to develop until around 2040.In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby red color with violet highlights. The bouquet is ripe, intense, and multi-layered, dominated by dark fruits such as blackberries, black currants, plums, and blueberries. These are complemented by subtle notes of licorice, tobacco, and spices, along with a hint of vanilla and toasted aromas derived from aging in oak barrels; here, the wood provides a lovely, supportive backdrop without ever taking center stage. On the palate, Château Malescasse is powerful and concentrated, yet remarkably balanced. The ripe, finely textured tannins lend it depth and elegance, while a pleasant freshness provides balance. The long finish is accompanied by recurring dark fruit and spicy accents.Culinary-wise, this Bordeaux pairs superbly with hearty meat dishes such as beef tenderloin, entrecôte, rack of lamb, or game. It also pairs excellently with braised dishes, mushroom dishes with truffles, and aged hard cheeses. Served at 16 to 18 °C and ideally decanted one to two hours before drinking, the Château Malescasse Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2022 unfolds its full aromatic potential and impresses with a successful blend of power, finesse, and classic Bordeaux elegance. A fantastic Bordeaux with unbeatable value for the price!

Chateau du Retout Cru Bourgeois 2020

Auf Château du Retout, geführt vom Ehepaar Helene und Frederic Soual-Kopp, entstehen seit nunmehr fast 20 Jahren wunderbar klassische Bordeaux-Weine, die sich kaum hinter einem noch so großen Namen aus dem Médoc verstecken müssen. Verantwortlich hierfür ist zum einen das herausragende Terroir dieses Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, zum anderen aber auch die Hingabe seiner Besitzer, die ihr nahe der Appellation Margaux gelegenes Weingut bewußt umweltfreundlich führen und mit dem Label HVE3 (Haute Valeur Environnementale) ausgezeichnet sind. Das Beste an Château du Retout ist indes der Preis; Weine von derart umwerfender Qualität dürften weltweit kaum zu solch moderaten Preisen zu finden sein.2020 war ein ausgezeichnetes Jahr am linken Ufer der Gironde, und so macht es uns Spaß, Ihnen diesen Wein präsentieren zu dürfen, der dominiert wird von einem hohen Anteil Cabernet Sauvignon (der Rebberg setzt sich aus 74 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 16 % Merlot und 10 % Petit Verdot zusammen).Der du Retout 2020 wirkt verführerisch fruchtig an der Nase, mit viel Schwarzkirsche, schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren, Pflaume und Cassis. Auch Pflaume, etwas Lakritz und Zedernholz, Gewürznoten, Sandelholz und Kakao spielen hier mit durchaus straffen, aber gut integrierten Tanninen zusammen. Das Gesamtpaket ist äußerst intensiv, mit einem lang nachhallenden Ausklang. Ein Best-Buy-Wein, der nach etwas Dekantieren bereits jetzt schon genossen werden kann, allerdings von einer Kellerreife noch profitieren wird.Wir empfehlen den du Retout 2020 Solo, oder aber als food-pairing mit Ente, Geschmortem, Rind, Lamm und Hartkäse.Gabriel (A. Kunz): 18/20; James Suckling: 92/100; WA: 90/100.

Die Cabernet-Nase ist komplex und würzig-pfefferig, am Gaumen satte Frucht mit viel schwarzbeeriger Aromatik. Die Tannine sind wuchtig und klassisch Bordeaux-präsent, ohne aber zu überfordern. Eine sehr gute Struktur und ein langer Abgang imponieren und verdeutlichen, dass der Wein gut und gerne noch 20-30 Jahre auf dem Höhepunkt sein kann.Lamm, rotes Fleisch, Wild, Steak, Ente oder Hartkäse begleiten diesen Ausnahme-Haut-Médoc besonders gut. Oder warum nicht gleich solo genießen?
