Wine Advocate

85-87 / 100

byLisa Perrotti-Brownthe7/15/2020

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Clément-Pichon has a nose of fresh red and black currants, baked plums and boysenberries with wafts of dried Mediterranean herbs and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing and juicy, finishing uncomplicated and pleasantly chewy.

The 2019 Clément-Pichon is a gracious, classy Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois. Sweet floral accents perk up a core of bright red-toned fruit as this mid-weight, elegant wine shows off its poise. The 2019 is not a big wine, but it is nicely balanced and quite satisfying.

Always solid, the 2019 Château Clement-Pichon from the impressive Haut-Médoc estate has a pretty core of red and blue fruits as well as lots of spicy oak and dried flowers, medium body, a rounded, elegant texture, and a clean, lengthy finish. It's going to be a hidden little gem in the vintage.

The 2019 Clément-Pichon has an intense blackberry and bilberry nose with subtle marine scents emerging with time, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, ever so slightly coarse tannins. Very classic in style, quite edgy, it just needs a little more flesh around the bones towards the briny finish.

Bouquet filigrane et complexe alliant des notes de baies noires et d'épices. Attaque fruitée et légèrement crémeuse. En bouche Clément-Pichon est bien soutenu par ses tannins qui sont intégrés et offrent un support fiable. Seule l'expression gustative n'est pas encore au meilleur niveau mais les perspectives sont bonnes et, d'ailleurs, la finale révèle des nuances fruitées.

94/100
Nez doté d’un joli éclat, sur un fruit à point. L’attaque est franche, sur le croquant, avec des tannins fermes. Une bonne trame acide, un peu stricte, qui confère au vin de la droiture, à défaut d’amplitude. Finale sur de légers amers. Dans un registre classique et sans extravagance.

Medium-bodied, with dark earthy red fruits, cedar and tobacco leaf on the front end. Forward, and easy to like due to its soft tannins and ripe fruits, give this a few years in the cellar before pulling a cork. 88-90 Pts

A red with blackberries, salt and some cloves and spices. Medium-to full-bodied and firm. Creamy on the finish.

Des notes de violette, de bourgeon de cassis, épices également. Du jus, des tanins enrobés et un style aussi tendu que l'année dernière même si les arômes sont moins présents.
