Chateau Villemaurine Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2011

La Revue du Vin de France

James Suckling

Wonderful aromas of crushed blackberries, red chilies and spices. Full body with round, silky tannins and a juicy, berry, mineral undertone. This is harmonious for the vintage, with a savory character.

Andreas Larsson, Tasted

Dense ruby red core. The nose is generous and offers fine oak, spices, dark berries and tobacco, the palate is dense and concentrated, plum and blackberry notes with a good dose of freshness, young tannin, some roasted and spicy notes and a long lingering finish, should develop well.

Wine Enthusiast

Powerful and concentrated, this is a wine with smoky flavors–very dark and intense. The fruit weight is well under the very firm and dry tannic character.

Gilbert & Gaillard

Vibrant red. On the nose, complex tones blending spice, graphite and mineral notes. On the palate, very melted and elegant. After a power-driven entry, fruit takes more of a lead role and provides a pleasant finish. A sterling wine with great promise for the future.

Falstaff

Delicately reminiscent of prunes, candied orange zest, a hint of raisins. Juicy, sweet berry fruit, present tannins that are well integrated, dark berry fruit on the finish, a versatile food accompaniment with potential.
