Château Clarisse Cuvée Vieilles Vignes  (Puisseguin-St. Émilion)              92

Sweet black plums, black cherries, chocolate, espresso, and licorice on the nose, are also found on the fresh, forward, chalky palate. Drink from 2025-2034.

Couleur noire, aux reflets pourpres. Nez intense, fin, au fruité mûr. Touches de menthe, de cerise noire à l’agitation. Moelleux à l’attaque, plein en milieu de bouche, très savoureux, ce vin glisse jusqu’en finale, sur des tannins enveloppés et une bonne persistance aromatique. C’est très bon. 

Il a du fond et un bon tannin finement épicé, la finale est aujourd’hui dominée par le bois, mais la matière revient derrière. Il ne devrait pas décevoir une fois mis en bouteille.

2014 – Château Clarisse « Vieilles Vignes »

Rather fruity and sumptuous. Real attack and lift. Interest and some depth though it’s definitely not more than medium bodied.

Note: 16/20

Features a sappy edge, with blueberry and plum paste notes studded with anise and fruitcake accents, kept lively with a good bramble detail on the finish. A small property where Stéphane Derenoncourt consults; worth keeping an eye on.

Note: 89-92

Note: 90

Made from vines that average 65 years of age, produced a wine packed with rich, lush, ripe, sweet fruits, supple, soft, elegant textures and a long, sweet, fruit filled finish. This will drink well on release and can age too.

Note: 89-90

An intense blackcurrant-and-green-pepper nose – but sweet, like some kind of weird Fat-Duck-style bonbon. Big, ripe cassis fruit on the palate, cocooned in sooty tannins. Dry, firm but reasonably trestrained tannic structure. Sandalwoo and freshly planed pine. Full-bodied but has kept its focus.

2018 – Château Clarisse, Vieilles Vignes

Inky dark core with a purple hue. Fine toast and smoke with aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis and some meaty notes. Polished and dense palate, modern and glossy with a fine vein of freshly, crushed dark berries, some meaty and spicy notes leading to a long finish.
