Ch. Les Charmes-Godard Blanc, 2015, Bordeaux

27

Out of stock

“The 2015 Les Charmes-Godard Blanc (part of Nicolas Thienpont’s portfolio) is a blend of 50% Semillon, 25% Sauvignon Gris and 25% Sauvignon Blanc picked at 55 hectoliters per hectare. It has a fragrant bouquet with lychee, pineapple and citrus fruit scents, then honeysuckle and jasmine – very complex and alluring. The palate is fresh and crisp with grapefruit and Granny Smith apples on the entry – a keen thread of acidity, very vivacious and tensile, but it does not quite deliver the depth and complexity on the finish to complete the wine. Maybe that will develop in barrel? I hope so, because this is a delicious white Bordeaux that is often overlooked.” Wine Advocate #224 (Apr 2016)

  • Joseph Newman

    I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.

    3.8 stars with more aging potential.

    A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.

    On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

  • Soham Phillips

    This amazing powerhouse from Ribera del Duero. Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2012 - Bodegas Alejandro Fernández. Decanting is advised 👌🍷 delicious cherry, vanilla, leather and cederbox with cigars. Milk chocolat, forrest floor, laurel. Great lenght and depth Amazing wine!

  • Gregor Jagermeister

    90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.

    Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
