This wine is actually a 1er Cru Red Burgundy. Intense aromas of mushroom and clean freshly tilled earth. Dark cherry and raspberry fruit flavors with truffle notes and a nice “gamely” quality. Hint of mineral on the finish. Medium plus acidity. Deep red color. Barely translucent. Elegant! — 4 years ago

Gentle yet alluring spices and flowers on the nose. Still some reduction which was not unlike Cathiard. Despite the great nose, it lacked the complexity and finish of a grand cru. A Vosne kind of Gevrey. — 7 years ago

Notes of honeysuckle ripe pear, pineapple, cinnamon and peach on the nose, with flavors of banana bread, praline and hazelnuts on the finish. Paired perfectly with grilled mussels. — 7 years ago

Dark tawny and opaque, darker than the 82 Gruaud Larose next to it. Similar complex nose with notes of black cherry and tobacco, old cedar cabinet, black earth and some dark fruit. Powerful in the mouth, and with 5+ hours of air, this was singing. In a good drinking window, but this easily has 10+ years of life ahead of it. Paired with the 82 GL, it was interesting to find how much these wines resemble each other. — 5 years ago

Chateau located in St. Julien region of France with famous neighbors as Cheateau Gruaud-Larose, Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou & Chateau Beychevelle. The name means "beautiful pebbles". Deep Ruby with aromas of sweet ripe berry fruits & floral notes. Palate shows flavors of blueberry, blackberry and sweet currants. Full ripe tannins, elegant structure, lingering, ending with earthy herbal character. Nice! — 6 years ago

2009 in June 2018. Wow, what a wine. Big earth and red fruit, very concentrated, let it breathe for an hour and it’s perfect. — 7 years ago

My first CLF. Aromatically, this wine is ready for business which surprised me given the Cru and vintage. Red cherries, Vosne spices, and a bit of wildness, but a tamed wildness. Guessed this as Vosne Romanee. Would love to see how this develops further. — 7 years ago

2014 vintage. As Sauternes suffers from a lethal combination of high production costs and low demand, it is about time we all start drinking more of it. The 2014 vintage combines a lot of botrytis with high acidity resulting in beautifully balanced wines that are very attractive young but should age beautifully for decades. Rabaud Promis has a long history (a lot of it in common with Sigalas Rabaud), but has been in the hands of the Dejean family for the last 4 generations. In early 2020 Jean Merlaut (Bordeaux négociant and owner of Gruaud Larose) took a majority share in Rabaud Promis, but Thomas Dejean remains the winemaker. And to judge from this terrific effort there is indeed no reason to change the winemaker. 80% Sémillon, 16% Sauvignon blanc and 4% Muscadelle. Brilliant golden yellow. Intoxicating complex perfume of fresh and dried fruits, flowers and subtle roasted flavours combined with an amazing lemony freshness. The mouth confirms this complexity with layers of concentrated fruit, balanced by crispy acidity and a knock-out brown sugar, lemon confit and noble rot "rôti" finish. It has amazing intensity while remaining light on its feet. Fabulous value at 28 euros! Abv. 12,6%. Note: these wines are much more versatile at the table than you think. While foie gras and blue cheese are classic combinations, I tried it today with veal, sautéed carrots and mushrooms and baked potatoes. Works really well. I invite you all to experiment with the culinary possibilities of these wines. — 5 years ago

Asian spices, sandalwood, dark cherries and raspberries. Hint of wild herbs. Becomes more floral and open with a few min, but still relatively restrained. Wine is balanced on the palate with smooth tannins and decent acidity for backbone. Lushly textured, rounder. Prefer the George Noellat over this one. — 7 years ago
