Tasting Notes

"Ripe dark fruit on the nose, as well as some blue-fruit, vanilla and toasty aromas. Iodine and tar, too. Full-bodied and juicy with firm, chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Savory. A traditional feel to this."

95 Points - James Suckling, March 2022

"Lots of ripe blue fruits, rare steak, smoke tobacco, and chocolate notes emerge from the 2018 Château Tour Maillet (Lagardere), a ripe, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced Pomerol with solid mid-palate depth and outstanding length. Building nicely with time in the glass, it has ripe, focused tannins, a solid spine of acidity, and a good balance between its fruit and structure."

The Producer

Chateau Tour Maillet

The history of Chateau Maillet in the Right Bank dates all the way back to 1820 when the Moze Berthon Family was first established in the Bordeaux region. The first member of the Moze Berthon family to be involved with the estate was Georges Moze, in 1820. The estate takes its name from its previous owner, the Comte de Maillet.

Chateau Maillet is a new wine from the Pomerol appellation. As Pomerol is the smallest of the major Bordeaux regions with just 800 hectares of vines, it is quite hard for a new wine to become established, but that is what took place with the 2015 vintage. However, while the wine is new, the name is not exactly new.

The Moze Berthon family were already producing wine under the name of Chateau Gouperie and they were using the name of Maillet for the estate’s second wine. It’s possible to give credit to the genesis for Chateau Maillet for another wine the estate produced in 2004, L’Excellence du Chateau Grouperie, that was made from 100% Merlot.
