Château Le Chatelet (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
The best vintage of Le Chatelet I have ever tasted starts off with notes of smoke, licorice, espresso, red and black fruits in the perfume. Medium-bodied, silky and fresh, with a dose of oak on the palate which needs to better integrate before you find all the sweet, red fruits on the palate and in the finish. Drink from 2023-2037. 1,549 Views Tasted Mar 21, 2023Earthy, tobacco, thyme, black raspberries, flowers, toasty oak and cherries lead the way to the medium-bodied, soft, fruity, easy to like mid-palate and polished finish.
