about this wine:

"La Couspaude is planted with the same grape varieties as the other great wines of Saint-Emilion, and in similar proportions: a large majority of Merlot (75%), as well as Cabernet Franc (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%)...It is this predominance of Merlot, much more hardy than Cabernet, which accounts for the large number of old vines and the impressive average age (40 years)...This situation is perpetuated by complantation (the replacing of individual vines rather than entire vineyard plots)."

Eddie Wolowski, JJ Buckley, February 2013

Dark core with a vibrant ruby red rim. Aromas of red fruit and spice continue onto a palate of ripe black cherry, Assam tea, white pepper, red currant, coconut and clove. Full bodied, with a seamless texture, good length and balance. The acidity is rather low, but this still retains a noticeable freshness. This will be a crowd pleaser. No need to wait, pop this open tonight on its own or pair with grilled meats or even chocolate! This will develop further with a few years in the cellar and peak within its first decade. Tasty juice indeed.

The best La Couspaude I have ever tasted, the opaque purple 2009 exhibits nicely integrated toasty oak/pain grille in addition to cassis, kirsch, raspberries and earthy undertones. Full-bodied, with beautiful integration of acidity, alcohol and tannin, this is a robust, exuberant, somewhat flamboyant style of St.-Emilion that is clearly modern, but quite frankly, delicious. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.

A broad, fleshy style, with cocoa, mulled plum, fig and blackberry fruit draped over briar and toasty spice notes. Stays lush and velvety through the finish, with flashy spice notes. For the hedonistic crowd. Best from 2013 through 2020. 3,000 cases made. -JM
