Chateau Poesia Saint-Emilion is a beautiful Merlot-driven wine gem from the esteemed Saint-Emilion appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Helene Garcin and Patrice Leveque own not one but 3 fabled Bordeaux estates: Clos l’Église, Barde-Haut, and Poesia. Lisa Perrotti-Brown just released an article in her Wine Independent about the 3 vineyards and quoted Patrice: "I don’t have a preference. Honestly, all three vineyards are located in the best areas of the right bank. It’s like three kids. Poesia is our youngest..."- Patrice Lévêque

“The 2019 Poesia is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted from Hélène and Patrice Lévêque. Rich and sumptuous, Poesia marries intensity with vibrancy in grand style. Poesia is a big, explosive Saint-Émilion, but it also possesses tremendous energy. Dark fruit, gravel, incense, spice and saddle leather open with a bit of coaxing. There is an exotic quality to Poesia in 2019 that is especially alluring. Brilliant.”-Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 96 points!

“The 2019 Château Poesia is a charming, up-front, straight-up sexy Saint-Emilion that brings lots of fruit yet always stays balanced and seamless. Bright red and blue berry fruits, spring flowers, tobacco, and some chalky minerality all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a supple, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This purity of fruit is spot on, and this is another terrific vintage for this château. It already offers pleasure yet will benefit from short-term cellaring and unquestionably evolve for 20-25 years if stored properly.”—Jeb Dunnuck, 93 points!
