  • Goedhuis, April 2019, Score: 91-93

    This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc is taken from parcels planted on gravel. Dark red cherry, ripe raspberries and succulent red plums. This possesses a graceful silkiness and round generous sweet juicy fruits mixed with some spice, all balanced with a delicious gravelly mineral core that adds a touch of refreshing salinity towards the finish. Very suave and harmonious on the finish. This will drink well early and also has the pedigree and concentration to cellar for a number of years. Impressive and will be certainly be one the value wines of the vintage, although sadly very little is made.

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2019, Score: 89-92

    The 2018 La Chenade is another stellar wine in Denis Durantou's lineup. Ripe, racy and exuberant, the 2018 is super-expressive, even in the early going. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice and new leather add layers of nuance. Ultimately, though, La Chenade is a wine of pure and total pleasure more than anything else. Floral notes and a final burst of red-toned fruit add character to this Lalande de Pomerol from sandy, gravelly soils.

  • Wine Advocate, April 2019, Score: 90-92

    This is produced by Denis Durantou of Château L’Eglise Clinet. The vineyard is in Lalande de Pomerol on gravel-based sandy soils. The 2018 La Chenade is composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc with 30% new oak. Deep purple-black in color, the nose is slightly reticent and broody, offering notes of tar, chargrill and damp soil to begin, giving way to a core of fresh plums, black cherries and kirsch plus touches of bay leaves and iron ore. Medium-bodied, the palate is fresh and juicy with plenty of bright black fruit and a plush texture, finishing long and refreshing.

  • James Suckling, April 2019, Score: 92-93

    This is really delicious and fresh with lovely dark berries and purity at the same time. Medium body, fine tannins and a lovely finish.

  • Decanter, April 2019, Score: 92

    This is super fresh and juicy - an easy wine to recommend. It’s full of well-ripened autumnal fruits and is in fact pretty concentrated in terms of flavours – a wine that shows just how fully the grapes ripened on gravel soils in 2018 and yet maintains its floral aromatics and sense of easy elegance. 30% new oak was used. A yield of 40hl/ha. Drinking Window 2024 - 2038

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2019, Score: 17+

    Thrilling balance and great density of fruit mark this as a wine with huge potential and the oak is certainly present, but it is the skin tannins which bring the palate together. Imposing and indulgent this is a mighty wine and there is a superb red-fruited theme in the background which will emerge in time.

  • Wine Spectator, April 2019, Score: 87-90

    Shows an herbal note out front, with light cherry and damson plum fruit. Silky finish.

Region

Lalande de Pomerol

Lalande de Pomerol is situated to the north-west of the Dordogne River north of Pomerol. Similar to the great Pomerol appellation the wines are Merlot dominated but sold at a fraction of the price. Some great value wines can be found to the south of the Lalande de Pomerol region as only the Barbanne River separates the two appellations.
