Rich plum colour and core of fruit, light tannins. Soft and supple, and winemaker Noëmie Durantou has done skilful work over ageing to make the structure fully integrated and charming. 30% new oak, sandy gravel soils. First time for La Chenade to be 100% Merlot, keeping the Cabernet Franc for Les Cruzelles. Score: 91 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2026-2040 26 March 2024 |

The 2021 La Chenade is soft, supple and super-expressive right out of the gate. Silky tannins wrap around a core of red cherry fruit, plum, mocha, spice and new leather, with pretty floral and savory top notes that come alive with a bit of time in the glass. La Chenade is all Merlot this year, as the Franc was used for the Cruzelles. Score: 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2024-2033 27 February 2024 |

The 2021 La Chenade, which does not contain Cabernet Franc this year, has a more complex bouquet than the Saintayme, with touches of blackberry, pine needles and just a whiff of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins on the entry, but there is a core of ripe black fruit here laced with white pepper and clove. The finish is cohesive with commendable length. No, this is not the best La Chenade I have ever tasted, but it will give pleasure over the next six to eight years. Score: 88 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2027-2036 22 February 2024 |

A medium-bodied, ripe and textured Lalande with creamy, fleshy tannins. Succulent core of ripe plum fruit, chocolate and some orange and peppermint. Fragrant and plush. 100% merlot. Score: 92 - 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 May 2022 |

The 2021 La Chenade, from vineyards in Lalande de Pomerol that were saved from the frost, offers up rich aromas of berries and plums mingled with loamy soil and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's built around powdery tannins and lively acids. Score: 89 - 90 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 29 April 2022 |

The 2021 Château La Chenade is all Merlot from the Lalande-de-Pomerol region, brought up in 30% new French oak. It's always a riper, round, pleasure-bent beauty, and the 2021 is no exception, with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of darker cherries, black raspberries, gravelly earth, and flowers. With soft tannins and a plump, rounded mouthfeel, it's ideal for drinking on release and over the following 7-8 years. Score: 89 - 91 Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 06 February 2022 |
