Chateau La Confession AOC St-Emilion Grand Cru Jean-Philippe Janoueix
An elegant wine with great depth of flavour. The bouquet is a savoury fruit combination with red cherries, earthy fresh mushrooms, some oak with vanilla and savoury meaty notes. It is quite light in structure with a fine texture and persistent flavours of bitter cherries, plums and menthol.
Chateau La Confession AOC St-Emilion Grand Cru Jean-Philippe Janoueix
Treacle, raisins, dark and baked fruits combine with dusty oak and testify to the warm drought summer of 2016. Flavours of blackcurrant emerge with some aeration, so I would recommend decanting a little ahead of drinking. On the palate, balsamic notes with a firm acidity lift the wine and lead to a grainy finish with flavours of cedar and menthol.
Chateau La Confession AOC St-Emilion Grand Cru Jean-Philippe Janoueix
A full-bodied wine with cassis aromas and a rich concentrated palate, this was my favourite of the three. It is succulent and structured with flavours of sour black fruits, blackberries and vanilla with good depth. It needs a bit more time in bottle to reveal its full potential but should mature nicely.
