2010 Chateau La Confession, St Emilion Grand Cru (12 x Bottle)

France Bordeaux St. Emilion

An absolutely stunning wine from the Janoueix family, this dense, full-bodied, wonderfully floral and blueberry/blackberry-scented wine shows some toasty vanillin, but then hits the palate with a full-bodied thunder and cascade of glycerin and fruit in its luscious personality. Captivating and seductive, thick, juicy, full-bodied and pure, this is a beautiful St.-Emilion fruit bomb to drink over the next 10-15 years.

Vinous

Bright ruby-red. Pungent, high-pitched aromas of blueberry, violet, cocoa powder and licorice. Seamless and thick but youthfully bound-up today thanks very good energy and underlying minerality. Pure, juicy, intense wine with firm tannins and excellent potential. I’d wait five years for more flesh and nuance. I may be underrating this. Jean-Philippe Janoueix is a rare owner/winemaker who has all five vowels in his last name.
