It has some reserved, sanguine notes and an essence-like, raspberry core. Some stones and chalk here, too. Very long and focused palate. The grenache is singing here. Dense but soft and supple tannins, the product of thick, healthy skins. Best from 2025. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (92)The 2010 Villemaurine is another Saint-Émilion with an extremely ripe and extrovert bouquet, yet still attractive with maraschino cherries, allspice, cloves and hung game. The palate is sweet on the entry, supple and well balanced. I like the acidity here that counterbalances the inherent richness of this wine, corpulent towards the finish. Drinking perfectly now.

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (88)Inky ruby. Oak-spiced dark berries and cherry on the nose. Fleshy, rich dark red fruit flavors are lifted by a floral topnote and juicy acidity. Finishes with good back-end thrust, an echo of vanilla and slow-building, slightly gritty tannins. Still, this struck me as being well balanced and rounder than many other 2011 Saint-Emilions. Needs to be served with food. |
