CHATEAU LA REVERENCE ST EMILION 2019 750 ML

Rated 94 by James Suckling This is very sexy and fine-textured with medium to full body, firm and polished tannins and a long, creamy-textured finish. Really pretty. WE93 Rated 93 by Wine Enthusiast This stylish wine comes from a seven-acre vineyard just north of the town of Saint-Émilion. Half Merlot and half Cabernet Franc, it offers layers of black fruits, licorice and firm tannins. Still young, the wine promises much. Drink from 2025. WA90 Rated 90 by Wine Advocate Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 La Révérence sings of fresh blackberries, wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly with hints of dried lavender, powdered cinnamon and mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush and juicy with compelling spicy accents and a peppery kick to the finish. Country- France Region- Bordeaux Type- Red Chateau La Reverence (which means "curtsey") is a micro-estate located by Chateau Chauvin and Chateau Grand Corbin near the medieval village of Saint Emilion. The Chateau was originally called Chateau Clos Jeans Voisin, but was changed to La Reverence when winemaker Emeric Petit acquired the estate in 2003. Petit is a young, dynamic up-and-coming winemaker specialized in producing outstanding garage/boutique wines at value prices on Bordeaux's right bank. He learned how to make wine under the guidance of famous oenologist Jean-Claud Berrouet (Petrus) and Catherine Cohen. Today he is a rising star and also owns Chateau Tournefeuille and Chateau L'Ecuyer.
