Med tæt på dobbelt op af Cabernet Franc i forhold til forgængeren, kan 2021 karakteriseres som lidt af en “Cheval Blanc-årgang” for Grand Cru Classé Fleur Cardinale.
Resultatet er overmåde elegant, balanceret og harmonisk. Som flere anmeldere pointerer ovenfor, har vi fat i en af årgangens absolutte outperformere.
Målrettede investeringer og hårdt slid har forvandlet Fleur Cardinale til et af Saint-Émilions mest spændende navne. Og det gør bestemt ikke noget, at Merlot-magikeren Jean-Luc Thunevin fra 100 point-naboslottet Valandraud giver en hånd med i kælderen.
Leveres i original trækasse ved køb af 6 flasker.
Anmeldelser af Château Fleur Cardinale Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2021
95-96/100 Bernard Burtschy
“The wine has a very dark color with beautiful aromas of blueberry, spices, and leather. It is dense with a lovely silkiness and an impressive depth; the tannins are fine, and the whole is remarkably long with a delightful freshness thanks to the Cabernet grown on limestone soil. Mildew caused a 30% loss (yield of 21 hl/ha). A remarkable success.”
95/100 Terre de Vins
“A pure and ripe nose, with controlled and balanced density. This graceful and complex 2021 exudes distinction and elegance. Built on a framework of iron and silk, it is both firm and velvety, offering a very complete aromatic palette, ranging from red fruit to floral notes, with hints of sage and elderberry. The length is a bonus, accompanied by an appetizing and mouthwatering texture. A true success of the vintage.”

95/100 Vert de Vin Magazine
“The nose is fruity, fresh, complex and reveals nice concentration of freshness/finesse, a certain intensity of finesse/delicacy/freshness. There are notes of fresh cherry, violet and, to a lesser extent, bright blackcurrant, combined with hints of fresh saffron, lilac and graphite, as well as fine hints of balsamic, a very discreet touch of timut pepper, vanilla and toast. The palate is fruity, balanced and reveals freshness, a nice acidic structure, minerality, a nice definition, elegance, some volume, a nice work of bitters, lightness in the sense of delicacy/subtlety. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fresh/crisp blackcurrant, pulpy/acidic blackberry and more lightly small red berry, crunchy cherry combined with hints of tonka bean, lilac, fine hints of tobacco as well as a subtle hint of cardamom, a very discreet hint of cocoa bitterness, toasted/roasted almond, roasted/charcoal (in the background).”
94-95/100 Forbes
“A 70/20/10 blend of Merlot/Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon that ages up to 14 months in new French oak. Creamy aromas that include brownies, licorice, red cherries and black berries. A distinguished wine with firm and supple tannins, glowing acidity and a midpalate of red fruit that includes cranberries. Pair with roasted duck breast or a Moroccan tajin.”
94/100 Decanter
“Intensely perfumed on the nose, so expressive and aromatic with dark chocolate and blackcurrant liqueur aspects. Juicy, fresh, playful, lifted and upfront - this has a lot going on. It's lightly framed with a lifted nature on the palate, the flavours all vertical and expansive but not heavy. It's a delicate style in terms of structure but the flavours are persistent and really fill the mouth with a brightness as well as minty, chocolate, liquorice fresh tannins. I love this one - a real success of the vintage. Usually 70-75% Merlot, so this is a new Fleur Cardinale, the' kind of blend we'd like to have in the future' says Ludovic and Caroline Decoster, with increased plantings of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon taking place at the estate. Consultants Jean Philippe Fort - Michel Rolland Laboratoire. First year of conversion to organic, 2021 saw a loss of 50% production - 20% to frost and 30% to mildew. A fine effort.”
94/100 Antonio Galloni
” The 2021 Fleur Cardinale rushes from the glass with a nose of dark cherry, plum, chocolate, mocha, licorice, new leather and black tea. Plump and juicy, with tons of forward appeal, the 2021 has been quite showy in two tastings. It's a gorgeous, impeccably balanced wine from this Saint-Émilion property.”
94/100 La Revue Vinicole Internationale
«An elegant wine, with freshness, well-balanced, featuring notes of ripe fruits.”
94/100 Markus Del Monego Master of Wine
93-94/100 James Suckling
“A refined and linear wine with blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a racy finish. Classy.”
93-94/100 Bettane & Desseauve
93+/100 Izak Litwar, Great Bordeaux Wines
93/100 Jeb Dunnuck
“Tons of chalky minerality, darker red and black fruits, leather, and graphite notes emerge from the 2021 Château Fleur Cardinale, a gorgeously textured, medium to full-bodied, elegant Saint-Emilion that has beautiful tannins, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and great finish. While I love it today, this incredibly well-balanced, elegant, yet concentrated 2021 will evolve and drink well for upwards of two decades.”
93/100 Jeff leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Deeply colored, lush, round, opulent, and concentrated for the vintage, you find spicy, floral, black cherries, touches of chocolate, licorice, espresso and a hint of spice. Silky in the mouth, fresh and fruity, the finish is soft, supple and polished. The blend is 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. All that extra Cabernet really makes a difference adding more freshness, complexity and individuality. I hope they continue using more Cabernet here in future vintages. The harvest took place October 1 - 12. This is the first vintage from 100% organic farming.”
93/100 Alexandre Ma
“The bottled Château Fleur Cardinale 2021 surpassed my expectations. It possesses a richness and structure rarely seen in cooler vintages, with flavors of dried black plums, blueberry puree, licorice spices, and a maturity approaching graphite. In my view, Château Fleur Cardinale triumphed in 2021 for several reasons: its late-ripening vineyards perfectly avoided the early harvest rains; the winemaker’s meticulous grape selection; and the “integral fermentation” contributing to an ideal richness. To me, it is one of the few estates that manage to reach the quality of 2020.”
93/100 Tim Atkin MW
“Super-saturated black fruit aromas. Sweet mocha oak notes. Rich and inviting. In the mouth this is dense and yet fresh with very ripe and concentrated black and red fruits, but a fresh acidity and not overhanging tannins. Some creaminess of texture on the palate and a dense multi-layered finish. Very good.”
93/100 Wine Enthusiast
”After 12 months in wood, the wine has a fine spicy edge. That balances the rich black fruits with their floral character. This is a ripe wine that has plenty of potential.”
