La CHENADE
Red

80% Merlot, La Chenade is the almost second wine of the Cruzelles. Designed and conceived by Mr. Durantou (Église-Clinet), this is one of the best quality/price ratios on the entire right bank. In confidence!

J-M Quarin : 90/100 « Couleur sombre et intense. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr. En bouche, la douceur tactile se mêle à un fruité optimal. C'est délicieux. Encore plus quand le dernier tiers fait monter la persistance. Un rendu remarquable pour une région qui a connu la grêle dans la nuit du 17 au 18 juin. »

Vinous (A. Galloni): 90-93/100 "The 2024 La Chenade is gorgeous. Deep, pliant and textured, the 2024 has so much to offer Dark red fruit, mocha, espresso, lavender and licorice all meld together in a sumptuous, beautifully layered Lalande-de-Pomerol that hits all the right notes. Floral and citrus overtones perk up the vibrant finish."

Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2024 La Chenade has a lovely blueberry and violet scents blossom on the nose, fresh and seductive in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip, fine backbone and a subtle graphite note on the finish. This will be difficult to resist from the get-go."
