Girolate 9e Vendange - Despagne

Wine Advocate

90 / 100

is sensational 100% Merlot (production is under 1,000 cases) is the flagship and probably best wine made by the outstanding producers of Petit Chateaux Bordeaux, the Despagne family. Lots of toasty, chocolaty notes intermixed with black fruits, mocha, espresso and oak jump from the glass of this modern-styled, in-your-face, wonderfully exuberant and flamboyant Bordeaux. It is impeccably well-made and should drink well for 5-6 years possibly longer.

2010: Like previous vintages from the Despagne family (who also makes competent, delicious, under-valued wines such as Tour de Mirambeau and Mont Perat), the 2010 is a 100% Merlot that is “dressed to kill.” Lots of oak, chocolate fudge, espresso roast and ripe fruit notes emerge from this modern-styled, impressively concentrated, well-made effort. Drink it over the next 3-5 years. Drink 2011-2016

The deep ruby 2010 Girolate offers up a nose of cedar, plums and blackberries, followed by precise fruit flavours with good definition, great intensity and depth, and a seamless oak integration. Vinification and aging is in barrels, grapes are 100% Merlot, planted 10,000 vines per hectare, and 8,500 bottles are produced per year.

Nez de fruits noirs macérés, il y a longueur et largeur de bouche avec une finale chocolatée.

Very informative back label. [I wrote about Girolate in 2006.] Picked 8, 9. 12 Oct. 8,500 bottles. Very dark. Sweet, dried-fruit aromas but there is energy here too, and still quite a bit of tannin. (This is the first time I have really felt the presence of tannins in my tastings of AC Bordeaux.) Very intense and vibrant. I can see how they think it should really belong to the class of St-Émilion... Much livelier than the Ad Vitam 2010 tasted alongside. Drink 2016-2026
