Vinous - Neal Martin (92)The 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc does not have the bandwidth of La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc on the nose, slightly more malic, though it gains complexity in the glass, with touches of nettle and orange blossom emerging. The palate is slightly honeyed on the entry, a more powerful and sunny expression of the growing season, weighty with a pleasing oiliness and spiciness towards the finish. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91)A big, powerful wine, the 2012 Domaine de l'A offers serious depth and intensity. Super-ripe dark red cherry and plum flavors abound as this ample, creamy wine shows off its personality. A wine of texture and resonance, the 2012 is already quite delicious, but it also has enough depth to drink well for a number of years. This is a very strong showing from Christiane and Stéphane Derenoncourt. The 2012 is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, fermented and aged in barrel with 40% new oak. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2014 Domaine de l’A has a very opulent and intense bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry, rooibos and a light touch of fennel. I like the delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannin, a touch of graphite veins imparted by the Cabernet Franc to the extent that you might be duped into thinking there is some Cabernet Sauvignon creeping back into the blend! I appreciate the backbone of this Domaine de l’A. It is much more classic in style than the 2014 with admirable freshness and delineation on the finish. Keep this in the cellar for another couple of years if you can. Tasted at Berry Brothers & Rudd vertical with Stéphane Derenoncourt. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91)The 2015 Domaine de l'A is one of the more flamboyant, extroverted wines in the Côtes de Castillon this year. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, licorice, mocha, espresso and tobacco infuse this sumptuous, racy wine. The 2015 is a stellar wine from Stéphane and Christiane Derenoncourt. Domaine de l'A is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, of which 20% has whole clusters. Yields were just 30 hectoliters per hectare. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (88-91)The 2016 Domaine de l’A is plush and inviting. Dark cherry, chocolate and spice are pushed forward, and an aromatic lift from the Cabernet Franc appears on the midpalate and finish. This is an especially dense, rich wine for the appellation. Time should help the tannins settle down a bit. There is certainly plenty to look forward to. One of the big developments here has been a move to increase the Cabernet Franc, which is now around 30 percent, from the previous 15-20 percent. This is a hugely appealing wine from Stéphane Derenoncourt. Tasted two times. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91+)The 2017 Domaine de l'A is a gorgeous, but also embryonic wine from Stéphane and Christiane Derenoncourt. I have seen Domaine de l'A blossom with time, but it is also a wine that requires a bit of patience. I suspect that will be the case here as well. Time in the glass brings out striking purity in the wine's dark, layered fruit, and yet the best is clearly yet to come. The 2017 was vinified and aged in French oak, about 40% new. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)Stéphane and Christiane Derenoncourt's 2019 Domaine de l'A is a real standout. A touch more Franc than in the past helps convey an added kick of brightness and energy that works so well in balancing the wine's natural richness. The 2019 is classy and elegant, with tremendous purity of fruit. The 2019 is terrific, but it also is going to need a few years in bottle to be at its best. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91-93)The 2020 Domaine de L'A is incredibly reticent today. Given how well it ages, that should not be a huge concern. Dark-fleshed fruit, graphite and spice gradually open with a bit of coaxing, all framed by bright saline notes that build into the persistent finish. I imagine the 2020 is going to need a number of years to shine. It is a hugely promising wine, even in the very early going. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (86-88)The 2016 Domeyne is a plump, juicy wine. Dark fruit, chocolate, spice, violet and plum are pushed forward. Succulent and forward, with notable density on the palate, the 2016 should drink well upon release. This is an especially juicy style for Saint Estèphe, yet there is good freshness and energy as well. |

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (92)(34% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot and 33% cabernet franc): Dark red with a hint of garnet at the rim. Complex aromas of dark berries, exotic herbs, clove, cocoa and menthol. At once fat and juicy, with harmonious acidity giving the wine's dark berry, underbrush and cocoa flavors terrific lift. Finishes smooth and dense, with a rich, ripe mouthfeel and excellent persistence. This very successful 1998 avoids the austere side of many other 1998 Bordeaux. |

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (92)(31.5 g/l dry extract; 13.4% alcohol): Deep ruby to the rim; much darker than both the 2001 and the 2003. Notes of milk chocolate, underbrush and cedar complicate the ripe red cherry and dark plum aromas. Enters sweet, dense and tactile, displaying ripe dark fruit, tobacco, porcini and mineral flavors of noteworthy precision and cut thanks to harmonious acidity. Finishes sweet, spicy, smooth and very long; once again, du Tertre comes across as remarkably fresh and focused in a hot vintage. |

Wine Advocate (88)Aromas of chocolate, sweet cherries, dried herbs, and a hint of tapenade jump from the glass of this medium-bodied, silky, soft, pretty Margaux. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years. |
