Lots of spicy oak in the 2015 bouquet with stewed fruit, red fruit and treacle behind. It has quite a light mid palate given the 89% Merlot with Cabernet adding some grip on the finish. After fermentation, the wine was put into barrels for malolactic fermentation using 50% new and 50% one-year-old oak barrels and was left on lees until the following spring.
Chateau Cap St. George AOC Saint-Georges Saint-Emilion Jean-Philippe Janoueix
Mellow dark fruits, the oak is more integrated and less obvious despite the same combination of 50% new and 50% one-year-old barrels. It is a medium-bodied wine and supple with good mid-palate weight which should become more expressive with time.
