Château Le Chatelet St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2019

Smoked graphite, pencil lead and slate curl out of the glass, with blackberry and red cherry fruits on the attack. This has gourmet traces of cocoa bean and brioche, and is a good quality vintage at le Chatelet. Located between Clos Fourtet and Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse, the first year with Stephane Derenoncourt. This estate was declassified in 1996 but reinstated in 2012, and is producing increasingly consistent wines.
