Very impressive this year, dense, fleshy bold Merlot, there is super density and very good freshness, tannins give structure but are very well covered by the fruit.
James Suckling 90-91/100;
Plenty of blueberry and blackberry character with black olives. Some walnut shell. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a fresh finish.
Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 89-91/100
The 2019 Hauts-Conseillants is elegant and refined. Pretty floral aromas lift from the glass. Blue and purplish fruit is accented by licorice and spice notes in a mid-weight, expressive Lalande de Pomerol. The 2019 is understated, yet it is persistent all the way through to the finish."
Planted in the 1970's by the Figeac-Bourotte family, Les Hauts-Conseillants vineyard now has an average age in excess of 30+ years. The 10 hectares are divided between 6 ha of sandy-clay topsoil, with free draining gravelly subsoil (Chevrol plateau in Néac), and 4 ha on a gravelly outcrop that contains 10% clay (in Lalande). Planted 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc.
