Bright vivid colour; raspberry fruits on the first attack, shot though with grilled cedar, salted caramel, liqourice and gentle acidities, unfussy and enjoyable. 40% new oak, harvest September 13, 40% new oak for ageing. Score: 90 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2027-2037 Date: 02 May 2024 |

The 2023 La Chenade, 100% Merlot this year, opens with gorgeous aromatics. Medium in body and vibrant, with terrific energy, the 2023 is all class. Cedar, tobacco and dried herbs add an attractive savory/floral character, while bright acids that pull it all together on the close. This is beautifully done. Score: 90 - 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2028-2038 Date: 30 April 2024 |

The 2023 La Chenade is pure Merlot. Last year contained 20% Cabernet Franc, but this year, Noëmie Durantou blended it into the Les Cruzelles cuvée. Picked on September 13 and matured in 40% new oak, this is noticeably reductive on the nose. It’s quite intense, although perhaps missing amplitude usually bestowed by the Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely texture and a keen line of acidity, lightly spiced with gentle grip on the slightly savory finish. Very satisfying in the mouth, this is a sensual La Chenade that will provide for delicious early drinking. Score: 89 - 91 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2027-2050 Date: 29 April 2024 |

The 2023 La Chenade shows a dark, somber profile, evoking aromas of gentian, licorice, mulberries and violet. Medium-bodied with a layered and rich palate, it’s creamy and enrobing with velvety tannins and a long, firm finish. It was made entirely from Merlot grapes that are matured in new oak barrels, comprising 40% of the total. - Tasted by Yohan Castaing Score: 90 - 92 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 26 April 2024 |

La Chenade has depth and layering with lots going on. Crunchy blackberry and raspberry fruit character and round tannins. 100% merlot. Better than 2022. Score: 93 - 94 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 24 April 2024 |
