Château de Carlmagnus 2019
Descripción
Llamado así en homenaje a Carlomagno, este tinto de Fronsac tiene su origen en una parcela de suelos arcillosos y de piedra caliza que no llega a las 5 hectáreas. Las uvas de Merlot con la que está elaborado se someten a suaves extracciones y fermentaciones con levaduras autóctonas, mientras que el 50% de las barricas en las que realiza la crianza son nuevas. Las primeras catas en primeur revelan un tinto intenso aromáticamente con marcada fruta negra madura, un toque de regaliz y chocolate negro, buena estructura y profundidad.

Opinión de los críticos
Aromatic and herbal on the nose, sweetly fruited with strawberries and cherries but with this edge of dried herbs - rosemary and thyme. Gorgeous clarity - precise, clean, bountiful, generous and bright. Great acidity and just clarity of fruit - feels polished and sleek with excellent juice on the mid palate and a lovely chared smokiness that gives a striking detail to the overall profile. Well-textured tannins are grippy but also softly chewy giving a dense and plentiful mouthful but with charm - nothing too much. Drink now and enjoy the youthful vibrancy but this will be good over time too. Just a touch of liquorice spice on the finish giving texture and nuance. The best grapes from the 40ha under vine go into this wine.
The deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Carlmagnus bursts from the glass with ripe black and blue fruit notions of plums preserves, blueberry compote and blackberry pie with hints of hoisin, licorice and clove oil plus a touch of dark chocolate. The full-bodied, rich, seductive palate is laden with spicy black fruits and a beautifully velvety texture, finishing with a peppery lift.
Dark cherries, mulberries, licorice, olives and mushrooms on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Soft and fruity with a supple finish. Drink in 2022.
