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 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 01 May 2018 |

The 2017 La Chenade was picked from 14 to 22 September for the Merlot and on 18 September for the Cabernet Franc. It has a very well defined, slightly tertiary bouquet with blackberry, sage and light thyme aromas. The palate is soft on the entry with smudged red berry fruit laced with leather and light cedar notes. It does not quite have the ebullience of the 2018 on the finish but it has a lovely spiciness on the aftertaste. Score: 91 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2021-2032 01 February 2020 |

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 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 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 04 April 2018 |

A firm and silky wine with berry and cherry character. Medium body, light tannins and a clean finish. Score: 87 - 88 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 03 April 2018 |

A lovely, beautiful vibrant quality to the tannins that sit quietly under the fresh but full dark fruits. From gravel and clay soils, a few plots were affected by frost. Harvest took place between 14 and 22 September. No new oak here. Score: 89 Jane Anson, Decanter.com Maturity: 2022-2032 01 April 2018 |
