very inviting. Dark with fine but present tannins. Tight but nicely fragrant in the middle with sweet fruit on the finish. Plenty of substance - 17 points, Jancis Robinson

"Very generous wood fights somewhat at present with the cool, spicy and highly complex nose of red currant, plum and violet aromas that is very much in keeping with the equally spicy rich, full-bodied and tautly muscled flavors that display ample minerality on the balanced, long and linear finish. This is a very serious effort with fine but dense tannins that will require 15 to 20 years for them to fully resolve so this isn't a precocious Riche."

Powerful, yet very well-balanced, the two varieties reacting synergistically; a mix of plum, black cherry and blackberry, with fine but persistent tannins; has swallowed 20 months in French oak; 20-year cellaring ex the label conservative. Only available in magnum

 “Sweet, slightly jammy nose. Chewy with cherry flavours and lots of acidity apparently plus distinct chewiness on the finish. Bright fruit.”  -16.5/20 points, Jancis Robinson

Dark cherry red. Swiss chocolate, liquorice, violets and aniseed with soft vanillin notes. A rich and opulent Cabernet Sauvignon with intense varietal characters of blueberries and cassis. Soft, silky tannins and a fresh tapered acidity providing rich primary fruit flavours on the finish and good depth.

“Named in homage to its founder, Gambert de Loche, this is one of the top wines from the Tain cooperative. It is young in color, with fresh fruit and solid tannins. The flavors of cranberries and blackcurrants just emphasize the dryness of the wine. A serious wine that will develop well over 5-10 years.” - 90 points, Wine Enthusiast

Good hue; blackberry, blackcurrant, earth and dark chocolate all coalesce on the medium- to full-bodied palate, which has outstanding texture and structure, oak and tannins precisely controlled; 20 years cellaring suggestion on front label seems remarkably modest

A stunningly good Les St. Georges and absolutely recommended. Red fruit driven … the aromas merge seamlessly into the rich, full and classy flavors that are marvellously pure, elegant and taut before culminating in a delicious, serious, dense and powerful finish.

ultra pure and distinctly cool red pinot fruit aromas that marry into rich, firm and notably finer full-bodied flavours supported but a solid tannic spine and a dusty, minerally and precise finish. This is a lovely effort that could surprise to the upside as there is clearly a long future in store.
''05: WS-94: Dense and brooding, this is a monolith today. There's purity to the cherry flavor, with spice and mineral notes adding depth. The tannins are ripe and mouthcoating on the finish, and this ends with sweet, ripe fruit - Wine Spectator, 94 points

f raw size and power, this will be a sure winner. Fans of elegance and finesse will be perhaps less impressed but this is truly a dramatic wine.
