93 Pts Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
"The 2006 Le Carre, rated 93, which was not reviewed in issue #181, is brilliant. Beautiful black fruit, crushed rock, and new oak aromas, a dense purple color, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and outstanding density as well as richness result in a successful wine that should evolve for 12-15+ years." -93 points Robert Parker |
Description:
"From a small, single-vineyard plot of 3.5 acres, this shows intense fruit, very aromatic in character. Its concentration is immense, dark black fruits vying with spice, tar and sweet plum pudding flavors. The Cabernet Franc shows through well here, giving a perfumed finish." -92 points Wine Enthusiast
"Raspberry and black licorice aromas follow through to a full body, with an excellent concentration of ripe fruit, smoky wood and a long, flavorful finish of vanilla and berries. Best after 2012. 400 cases made." -90 points Wine Spectator
"LE CARRE is a single-vineyard of just over one and a half hectares that abuts Clos Fourtet near the centre of the town of Saint Emilion. The vines date back to the middle of the last century and have been completely re-terraced since the purchase of the vines in 2004 from Château Canon, Premier Cru Classe."
With a cropping level of approximately 28 hectolitres to the hectare, double-sorting, and vinification in oak wooden vats, the wine- called "packed and stacked" by Robert Parker Jr at it's debut- boasts a dense purple colour in addition to abundant quantities of black fruits, crushed rocks and flowers nicely wrapped in new oak, where it receives it's malolactic fermentation and ageing. Whilst the main part of the wine is made up by merlot, the Cabernet Franc compliment is fermented in 400 litres barrels that are rolled during primary fermentation. 300 cases only are made." -Winery
