La Dame de Montrose 2024
€27.50 IB per bottle
92 Points - Jane Anson
This has dark fruit character, leafy but nuanced and sculpted, lovely savoury mouthwatering quality on the finish, At Montrose they did some leaf removal even in early June at fruit set, and left grass throughout the vineyard all the way through the season to increase competition, and did some tidying up at the very beginning of veraison to remove any that were clearly a little behind schedule - so basically just had to be extremely reactive at all times. The yield was 38hl/h after farming entirely organically. Harvest 23 September to 8 October. 20% large oak casks, 15% new oak.
Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte 2024
€21 IB per bottle
17.5+ Points | Matthew Jukes
There is nowhere to hide in 2024, and the gulf between successful wines and those left wanting is immense. In addition, most wines, even the most delicious and balanced, are relatively easy to inspect. They are naked and exposed; this lack of artifice makes the best seem even more defined and refined. As we know, Cabernet is King on the Left Bank, so Le Petit has the edge over the other SHL cuvée, Les Hauts, which leads with Merlot. The result is a refreshingly classical and stylish wine, bursting with honesty and deep-seated balance. It will require a good few years to blossom, but this is a hidden gem in 2024.
