Located on the first hillsides bordering the Gironde, facing the Grands Crus Classés of the Médoc, the vineyards of Château Lacaussade Saint Martin extend their roots on sixty hectares.
This is a lovely estate, one of the last remaining properties in the Mérignac gravel area, lying next door to Haut Brion and Pape-Clément. The name Caillou refers to pebbles, reflecting the fact that this was once riverbed, when the river Garonne overflowed millions of years ago.
Tasted at the château, the 2005 Chateau d’Yquem delivers a similar performance as last year. Lucid in colour, the bouquet is detailed with very pure honey, vanilla and almond scents, still a little new oak to be fully assimilated but demonstrating superb focus.
Great concentration and a previously unseen quantity of tannins characterized the wines, which possessed extraordinary aromatic intensity, freshness and precision.
The 2009 Haut-Brion is deep garnet colored and slightly closed and shy to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal sensuous notions of warm blackberries, plum preserves, mulberries and blackcurrant cordial with touches of star anise, mocha and damp soil.
Medium body and very smooth, it finishes with an herbal flourish that lingers. Well-structured blended red wine, this pleasant Bordeaux is perfumed on the nose, with good up front fruit and just enough spice to make it intriguing.
A classic claret with generous concentration and smoothness that is an absolute thrill to drink now or further down the road. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.
Paveil shows all the wonderful potential of the fabulous terroir on which we are lucky enough to be seated. A high purity of fruit, a creamy side lines the palate before a fireworks of flavors that explodes in the mouth and a complex and suave finish.
