2015 Malescasse, Haut-Médoc (Pre-Arrival)

SKU #1254330 93-94 points James Suckling

This is a fantastic example of this wine with wonderful richness and depth. Full body, chewy and rich. Goes on for minutes. (3/2016)

89-92 points Vinous

The 2015 Malescasse is terrific. A wine of energy and real class, the Malescasse is super-impressive today. Crème de cassis, violets, mint, licorice and plums are all beautifully delineated in this gracious, mid-weight Cru. Frédéric Massie Hannah Fiegenschuh are the consulting winemakers. (AG) (4/2016)

Decanter

Very good expression of fruit with some florality and ripe tannins. Impressive for Malescasse. (SS) (4/2016)

Jancis Robinson

A Stéphane Derenoncourt wine. Glowing dark purplish crimson. Pepper and vigour on the nose. Stands out from the crowd for its ambition. Well made classic Médoc. Medium intensity but very good balance. (JR) (4/2016)

An all-time favorite of K&L. Almost every vintage is good here-especially since 2000. This is their best to date, but do not believe me-just ask our friend James Suckling. I think he is a 94 on it. Tastes great now and will so for many years to come.
Drink from 2018 to 2028

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Cabernet Sauvignon and Blends

- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the Médoc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.
Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
