Tasting Notes
-
Neal Martin, April 2022,
Score: 87-89The 2021 La Chenade was picked between September 24 and October 1 and this year is pure Merlot. Again, it is simple but clean and well-defined on the nose of brassy red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is balanced with vivacious red fruit. It pulls up a tad short, but there is still plenty of flavor and freshness here. Fine. Drink 2027-2036
-
Wine Advocate, April 2022,
Score: 89-90The 2021 La Chenade, from vineyards in Lalande de Pomerol that were saved from the frost, offers up rich aromas of berries and plums mingled with loamy soil and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's built around powdery tannins and lively acids.
-
Antonio Galloni, April 2022,
Score: 90-92The 2021 La Chenade is a soft, supple Lalande de Pomerol loaded with charm. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, chocolate and spice are nicely pushed forward in this attractive, easygoing 2021. La Chenade is all Merlot this year, as the Franc was used for the Cruzelles. Drink 2024-2033
-
Goedhuis, April 2022,
Score: 90-92A 100% Merlot cuvée aged in 30% new oak. A lovely, sumptuous style, with rich fruit compote flavours The tight tense tannins give the wine a structure and framework, before the sweetness of fruit gently releases to give an expression of poise and charm at the end.
-
Wine Cellar Insider, April 2022,
Score: 88-90Cocoa topped plums with flowers on the nose are perfect to form the backdrop for all the medium-bodied, soft-textured, forward, sweet, juicy, red pit fruits on the palate. Produced from 100% Merlot, 13.5% ABV, drink from 2023-2034.

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.
