The 2017 La Chenade has blossomed into a truly fabulous wine. Rich, ample and explosive in the glass, the 2017 possesses tremendous density from start to finish. A rush of super-ripe dark red/purplish fruit, spice, rose petal, licorice and menthol builds as this potent, voluptuous Lalande de Pomerol shows off its racy curves and sultry, alluring personality. The 2017 is sure to be a crowd pleaser. I loved it. La Chenade is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Score: 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2020-2032 Date: 01 March 2020 |

The 2017 La Chenade, 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, is terrific. Deep, powerful and savory, the 2017 packs a serious punch. A rush of cedar, licorice, smoke, dried Mediterranean herbs and underbrush adds aromatic complexity. Today, the 2017 is showing quite a bit of tannin, but time in barrel should take care of things. This is a strong showing from Denis Durantou's Lalande de Pomerol. Score: 89 - 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2020-2022 Date: 01 May 2018 |

Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 La Chenade is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and has quite an earthy nose giving notes of truffles, mossy bark and tilled soil over a core of red and black plums and a waft of incense. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with refreshing red and black fruits supported by chewy tannins and finishes with an invigorating lift. Score: 88 - 90 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 27 April 2018 |

Deep purple crimson. Smells of small, wild hedgerow berries and raspberry vitality. Second-fill barrels and just a hint of chocolate. Lovely freshness and that fine graphite note on the finish. Refined texture, just a little chewy for now, and lots of fruit and a persistent finish. Score: 16 - 17 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2020-2028 Date: 25 April 2018 |

Offers a slightly tangy pomegranate and damson plum core, with high-pitched floral and rooibos tea notes. A savory echo emerges on the finish. Score: 86 - 89 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Date: 04 April 2018 |
