Tasting Notes
From the talented Denis Durantou, the 2019 Château La Chenade has a great bouquet of spiced red and black fruits, sappy flowers, sandalwood, and foresty, slightly herbal notes. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, elegant, yet rich Lalande de Pomerol that has beautiful tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and should be snatched up by readers. It can be drunk today or cellared for 15 years. Score: 94 Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com Maturity: 2022-2037 11 April 2022
The 2019 La Chenade is a lovely Lalande-de-Pomerol from the Darantou family, bursting with aromas of plummy fruit, wild berries, rose petals, smoke and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with supple tannins, succulent acids and a nicely defined finish, this charming wine represents one of the great values of right bank Bordeaux. Score: 92 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2021 - 2039 07 April 2022
Plenty of dried fruit with some figs and berries. Coffee and smoke, too. Opens to flowers and pure fruit. Full-bodied and round-textured with a juicy, yummy finish. Drink after 2024. Score: 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2024+ 04 February 2022
The 2019 La Chenade retains its exuberant nose of ripe black plum and kirsch scents, though on this showing, perhaps the Saintayme has a little more delineation now that both wines are in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied and shows more delineation and precision than the aromatics at the moment, offering dark berry fruit, white pepper and a touch of graphite, and turning quite spicy toward the finish. The nose does cohere in the glass, though, so afford this a year or two in bottle. Score: 91 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2024 - 2038 01 February 2022
The 2019 La Chenade is a racy, voluptuous wine that will thrill readers who admire the late Denis Durantou's wines. Plush and succulent in the glass, with terrific presence, the 2019 exudes class from start to finish. Spice, cedar, leather and tobacco accents meld into a core of red-fleshed fruit. Persistent and vibrant from start to finish, La Chenade is a winner. Score: 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2024 - 2039 01 February 2022
The 2019 La Chenade is plump and voluptuous in the glass, with terrific fruit presence and tons of pure character. Inky dark cherry, plum, spice, new oak and chocolate are all amped up in this racy, super-inviting Lalande de Pomerol. Denis Durantou and his team coaxed an unreal level of finesse in 2019. Harvest took place between September 18 and 26. Score: 91 - 93 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 18 June 2020
Grilled almond, sweet raspberry and red cherry fruit, fresh acidities, easy to love. Touch of gunsmoke reduction. Harvest September 18 to 26. 30% oak. Score: 92 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2023-2038 26 January 2022
