Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2035, Neal Martin, Mar 2019

The 2001 Cuvée Jean Gautreau is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc picked between September 26 and October 12. The bouquet is more expressive and more sensual than the 2000, offering ripe red cherry and cranberry notes, a touch of incense and pressed flowers with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin and very good balance, and the new oak is neatly enmeshed in the suave finish, which leaves behind notes of crushed strawberry and a hint of cocoa. A lovely Cuvée Jean Gautreau. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Sociando-Mallet.
