Print product information sheet

Château Charmail is known for producing wines that very often score significantly higher than their price would suggest. Charmail, classified as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, was taken over by Oliver Seze in the 1980s and underwent a "horse cure" of renewal until the wines once again reached the level of the terroir on which its vines grow. As a neighbor of Sociando-Mallet and Phélan-Ségur, the Gironde is not far away and the wine is now one of the best in the Haut-Médoc. Seze is still active as a consultant, but has handed over the vineyard to Bernard d'Halluin and his daughter Marie.

2018 is the first year of the "dream trilogy" 2018, 2019 and 2020, which produced outstanding wines in the Bordelais. The cuvée consists of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot.

The appeal of this wine lies in its creaminess and fine fruit, with underlying sweet aromas. Blue and black berries, cassis, tobacco and chocolate delight the nose. Silky on the palate, with a medium-full body, toasty notes from the wood, which do not dominate, and polished tannins. The finish is long lasting.

This elegant and balanced Haut-Médoc is already ready to drink, but only after about an hour of decanting. However, it should still have a span of at least 15 years ahead of it, provided it is stored properly, of course.

The 2018 offers a great drinking experience at an excellent price-performance ratio. Fine Bordeaux enjoyment doesn't get any cheaper than this!

Château Charmail

In der Kommune Saint Seurin de Cadourne, als direkter Nachbar von Sociando Mallet, liegt das Château Charmail. Es zählt noch zur Appellation Haut-Médoc, liegt aber direkt an der Grenze zu Saint-Estèphe. Das Rebland wird seit dem 17. Jahrhundert bewirtschaftet und durchlebte eine wechselvolle Geschichte, bevor Monsieur Olivier Seze im Jahre 1982 Charmail übernahm.

Monsieur Seze setzte die entscheidenden Akzente, um Charmail in der Spitzengruppe der Haut-Médoc Weine zu etablieren: Kaltmazeration, Ernte von Hand und grüne Lese, hier gilt Seze als einer der Pioniere, trugen entscheidend dazu bei, Charmail auf ein hohes Qualitätsniveau zu heben.

Und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für Château Charmail ist angesichts der erzielten Resultate, die ein Abonnement für gute Parker- und Gabrielnoten zu haben scheinen, sensationell. Selbst in herausragenden Jahren bleibt Château Charmail meist unter 20 Euro. Die Assemblage besteht aus etwas mehr Merlot als Cabernet Sauvignon, was dazu beiträgt, dass die Weine des etwa 28 ha großen Gutes schon früh zugänglich sind. Unterstützt werden diese klassischen Rebsorten durch etwas Cabernet Franc und ein wenig Petit Verdot der im Schnitt 30 Jahre alten Reben.

Bei Château Charmail legt man Wert darauf - das Wortspiel sei uns verziehen - charmante Weine zu produzieren, die durch Fruchtigkeit, seidige Tannine und Aromenfülle überzeugen. Die umfangreichen Investitionen der letzten Jahre in Keller und Weinbereitung sind ein Garant dafür, dass auch in der Zukunft viel von diesem bemerkenswerten Gut zu erwarten ist.

Château Charmail Haut-Médoc AOC 2019
Château Charmail Haut-Médoc AOC 2019
Château Charmail, located in the north of the Médoc, is the neighbor of Sociando-Mallet and has an exceptionally good terroir close to the Gironde. Formerly dormant, this estate woke up a few decades ago and produces fresh and fruity wines that have propelled Château Charmail into the top league of the Left Bank. It is important to bear in mind that the prices for this grape juice are still more than moderate, making Charmail one of the absolute price-performance winners in the whole of Bordeaux. The 2019 vintage is also exceptionally successful and is considered part of the century trilogy (2018-2020).A wonderfully deep ruby red glows in the glass. On the nose, the typically delicate fruit of Château Charmail, with cassis, blackberries, redcurrants and a hint of elderberry. On the palate, the red and blueberry character intensifies, framed by tobacco, licorice, leather and a little graphite, as well as mint and cedar. Everything is very fresh and harmonious, with good structure and race and some residual sweetness, which balances wonderfully with the intense fruit. Although the tannins are present, they are not over-represented, but appear polished and polished. The finish is extremely long.Château Charmail 2019 is a winner in its price category and scores even higher. Excellent for cellaring, it is already ready to drink after 1-2 hours of decanting.Weinwisser: 93-95/100Suckling: 91/100Decanter: 91/100Gabriel: 17/20

Château Chante Alouette Grand Cru Saint-Émilion AOC
Chante Alouette 2018 is a typical Bordeaux from the right bank of the Saint-Émilion appellation. The vineyards are located between such famous neighbors as Château Pavie and La Gaffeliére; the sand and clay soils, in addition to careful vinification, are responsible for producing particularly elegant and rich wines with a lot of charm.Château Chante Aloutte was taken over in 1995 by the Guy d'Arfeuille family, who combine the best of tradition and modernity while respecting and appreciating nature. The blend consists of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. It is matured in barriques with 30% new wood for one year.The 2018 Chante Alouette has a deep garnet-purple color. Blueberries, sweet cherries, licorice, baked plums, tobacco and violets on the nose. The palate is wonderfully elegant, opening up a world of dark fruits with chocolate. Lots of velvet and well-integrated tannins with an intense finish complete a very rounded picture of the exceptional 2018 vintage.A wonderful solo wine, drinkable now until around 2038, which also cuts an excellent figure with game, braised meat, grilled lamb or hard cheese.

Chateau Belgrave Haut Medoc Grand Cru Classe
Chateau Belgrave Haut Medoc Grand Cru Classe
53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot machen ein klassisches linke-Ufer Cuvée aus, wobei der Cabernet Sauvignon dafür sorgen wird, dass der Wein durchaus etwas Kellerreifung vertragen kann. In jedem Falle sollte der Wein vor dem Genuss atmen können, je nach Geschmack sollte 1-2 Stunden vorher auch dekantiert werden.Der Château Belgrave zeigt ein sattes, dunkles Granat. 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?
