Anmeldelser af Poesia Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2019

96+/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent

96/100 Antonio Galloni
”The 2019 Poesia is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted from Hélène and Patrice Lévêque. Rich and sumptuous, Poesia marries intensity with vibrancy in grand style. Poesia is a big, explosive Saint-Émilion, but it also possesses tremendous energy. Dark fruit, gravel, incense, spice and saddle leather open with a bit of coaxing. There is an exotic quality to Poesia in 2019 that is especially alluring. Brilliant.”

95/100 James Suckling
“Dried flowers, mimosa, blackcurrants, peppercorns and burnt orange on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tightly wound tannins and crisp acidity. Zesty, mineral character on the tight finish. Lightly smoky at the end.”

95/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“The perfume here reminds me of a freshly picked bouquet of flowers. Soft, silky, fresh and vibrant, the fruits show a gorgeous sense of purity in the sweet, ripe, kirsch and plums, with lift and chalky tannins in the finish. Long, refined and complex, this is already a joy to taste. But its best days are in the future, if you can hold off from opening a bottle.”

94/100 Robert Parker
“The 2016 Poesia is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple, the nose delivers vibrant Black Forest cake, redcurrants and Morello cherries notes with touches of cinnamon stick, rose hip tea, pencil shavings, tobacco and milk chocolate. The medium-bodied palate charges out of the gate with bright red berries layers and loads of herbal sparks, framed by rock-solid, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long. It should offer very good aging potential.”

Vinen er fremstillet på et blend af 70% Merlot og 30% Cabernet Franc, som Hélène og Patrice Garçin-Lévêque (fra Barde-Haut Cru Classé samt Clos L'Eglise i Pomerol) håndplukker fra Poesias unikke terroir på 8,865 hektar ved siden af verdensberømte Château Valandraud. Marken, som parret i 2014 snuppede for næsen af flere ikoniske slotte, udmærker sig ved sin høje beliggenhed samt en jordbund med ren, rå kalksten lige under den tynde leroverflade. 

Gæringen sker på relativt små beton- og ståltanke, inden 18-24 måneders lagring på 225 liter barriquefade, heraf 60 % helt nye. Leverandøren, Tonneliere Sylvain, er kendt for at levere barriquefade til elitenavne som Latour, Mouton Rothschild og Cheval Blanc samt hundedyre Harlan og Screaming Eagle.
