“94 points. The 2020 Poesia is superb” – Antonio Galloni

Der er gode bordeaux-køb… og så er der helt perfekte Poesia!

Til en brøkdel af prisen for sammenlignelig topkvalitet er Poesia 2020 en krigserklæring mod sine berømte naboer Valandraud og Peby Faugeres. Forrige årgang var væk på under 24 timer. Nu sælger vi landets sidste flasker - til de hurtige. 

For næsen af alle de store køber Cru Classé Barde-Haut i 2014 super-terroirret ved siden af Valandraud 1er Grand Cru Classé og skaber den sensationelle nye kultvin Poesia. Med et af St-Émilion højeste terroirs og rå kalksten lurende lige under overfladen fremtryller Poesias 8,865 hektar verdensklasse-frugt med unik mineralsk finesse.

Hvorfor ikke dyrere? Det tager min. 10 år at blive Grand Cru Classé og 15 år at blive 1er Grand Cru Classé, så unge Ch. Poesia må tålmodigt afvente næste klassificering i 2032.

For lige at understrege den ufattelige value... Poesia modner 18-24 måneder på 60% nye fade fra kultproducenten Tonnellerie Sylvain, der er kendt for at levere fade til Ch. Latour, Mouton Rothschild og Cheval Blanc samt hundedyre Harlan og Screaming Eagle.

Når Poesia bliver Grand Cru Classé, eller rammer de 100 point, slutter festen. Det her er en historisk set unik chance for at opleve kultklassevin til vanvidspris!

Anmeldelser af Château Poesia Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020

96/100 Jeb Dunnuck
“Based on 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Château Poesia has a wonderful purity and freshness in its ripe blue fruits, tobacco, cedar, and spring flower-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, it has good acidity, ultra-fine tannins, beautiful overall balance, and just a classy, seamless, incredibly elegant profile. It's another gorgeous wine from this incredible team.”

95/100 James Suckling
“This has a complex nose of plums, blackcurrants, chocolate, hazelnuts and violets. Licorice. Crushed stones and green olives, too. Fragrant and layered, with a medium to full body, fine tannins and excellent freshness. Sophisticated and elegant St Emilion.”

95/100 The Wine Independent
“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Poesia has a powerful nose of baked plums, boysenberry preserves, and Chinese five spice with hints of potpourri and mocha. The full-bodied palate is firm and grainy with concentrated, impactful fruit and a very long, very fruity finish.”

94-95/100 Bettane & Desseauve
“Sculptural, Poésia 2020 is impressive. In its fresh and intense register, it imposes a unique personality, built for long ageing. This vintage crowns the work of Patrice Lévêque, an omnipresent winemaker who benefits from the technical effects of the new cellar.”

94/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“The 2020 Poesia is superb, just as it was from barrel. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, licorice, cedar and mocha infuse this broad, ample Saint-Émilion with remarkable complexity. This is an especially dense, full-throttle Saint-Émilion, but it all works so well.”

94/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Black plums, chocolate, licorice, flowers and espresso create the nose. From there you find a rich, fresh, vibrant, creamy-textured, concentrated and mineral driven wine with a long, intensive, refined finish with layers of mineral-driven, dark red fruits, spices, cocoa and savory herbs in the chalky endnote.”

94/100 Falstaff
“Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, faint brightening on rim. Candied purple, a hint of liquorice, black wild berries, discreet noble wood savouriness. Complex, substantial, a whiff of fig, elegant and freshly structured, ripe tannins, fine nougat, mineral and adherent, certain ageing potential.”

93+/100 Robert Parker
“The 2020 Poesia opens in the glass with attractively pure aromas of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and violets. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, it's vibrant and mineral, with bright acids and a long, saline finish reflecting the shallow soils and limestone bedrock that define this later-ripening site.”

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.
