Château Clément Pichon - Haut-Médoc 2014

Wine Enthusiast

91 / 100

byRoger Vossthe3/28/2017

Under the same ownership as Château la Dominique in Saint-Emilion, this estate continues to make impressive wine. With its subtle tannins and ripe berry fruits, it is structured while never letting the tannins overwhelm the fruit. It is an impressive wine to age, so drink from 2021.

Fumée, ample, charnu, cacao, tanins soyeux, beaucoup de fond, un peu extrait, doit s’affiner à l’élevage.

The Château Clément-Pichon 2014 has a lot of extraction and richness on the nose (as indeed it tends to boast in every vintage). The palate is ripe and sweet with a lot of extraction, a very “polished," glycerine-rich Haut-Médoc with a balanced, but short, finish.

Very dark purple. Sweet and rich – almost right bank-like! Just a little sour on the end with a note of meat extract. Thick. But no shortage of density. Solid stuff in every way. Drink 2020-2028

Asian Palate

88-89 / 100

byJeannie Cho Lee MWthe4/20/2015

Supple, ripe and generous on the palate with freshness and good mid-palate weight. A well crafted Haut-Medoc red that will be best in 3 to 5 years.

86–88. Barrel Sample. This is a ripe and smoky wine with firm tannins and a dense texture of wood and spice. It is too extracted—giving intense chocolate flavors that spoil any fruit. — R.V. (4/1/2015)

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. 18/20 2021 – 2040

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.
