Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Wuchtiges Bouquet, viel schwarze Kirschen und Brombeeren, lädt schön aus. Dichter, konzentrierter Gaumen, auch hier sehr viele schwarze Beeren zeigend, im Finale Lakritze und Trüffel. Das ist ein ganz gewaltiger Wert in diesem Feld und er kann mit sehr vielen Grand Crus mithalten. Drei Mal verkostet. Er wird wohl schnell Freude bereiten! Das liegt daran, dass der Blend - fürs Médoc - mit 85 %-Anteil sehr, sehr merlotlastig ist.

A dark, fleshy style, with steeped plum and blackberry notes, inlaid with lots of licorice root and fruitcake flavors. Shows ample toast through the finish, but the stuffing is there.—J.M.

The 2014 Clement Pichon has retained that extracted style of nose with rounded, simple crushed red berries and cola aromas. The palate is soft and rounded, a wine trying to surpass the limitation of the vintage, yet I feel that the fruit is subdued on the finish, possibly due to a touch of brettanomyces.<br/>
Producer
Château Clément-Pichon
Château Clément-Pichon is a lesser known property in the Haut-Médoc with one of the most imposing looking châteaux in the region. Built in 1881 (in an eclectic Renaissance style) by the same architect as Château Lanessan (Michel-Louis Garros), it is viewed as overbearing by some, but one cannot deny its personality. The estate is currently owned by billionaire building magnate, Clément Fayat, who bought it in 1976 and who also owns Château La Dominique. He renamed it Clément-Pichon (from Château Parempuyre) several years after its purchase. Its varieties are comprised of Merlot - a majority - followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and its consulting oenologist is Michel Rolland. In 2003, it was classified as Cru Bourgeois.
