Description
Vinous 90 points – A sleeper of the vintage, the 2015 Charmail has turned out beautifully. The interplay of intense dark fruit and savory notes yields an expressive Haut-Medoc of character and distinction. Best of all, the 2015 is a superb value. The blend is 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 13% Petit Verdot..February/2018
James Suckling 90 points – Lots of dried fruit with berry and fig undertones. Full body, chewy tannins and a structured finish. A dense and rich wine. Needs time to soften. Try in 2020..February/2018
Jeb Dunnuck 92 points – A Jeffrey Davies Selection and a blockbuster that should be snatched up is the 2015 Chateau Charmail, which comes from a 28.5-hectare vineyard planted in clay and gravel soils. Based on 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this is one seriously good bottle of wine that’s loaded with raspberry, cherry, and strawberry fruit as well as lots of spice and floral nuances. Incredibly elegant and perfectly balanced, with a seductive personality that keeps you coming back to the glass, buy a case for drinking over the coming decade. Tasted twice..November/2017
