POESIA
Grand cru
- 2021
- Saint-Émilion
Small vineyard of 8.8 ha north-east of Saint-Émilion, property Garcin (Clos l'Église, Barde-Haut) since 2013. Their aim is not to produce yet another "competition animal" but a generously fruity, delicious, creamy, easily and quickly accessible Saint-Émilion.
Rated 93/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 Poesia has a slightly more opulent bouquet than the Barde-Haut, with perfumed black cherries, crushed violet and peony. Nicely focused, with wonderful purity. The palate is very poised, and very elegant, with wonderful tension and a silky smooth and very tensile finish. This has stepped up a gear since I tasted it from barrel. It us highly recommended. » (December 2022)

Garcin property (Barde-Haut, Poesia), 5.9 ha ideally located on the Pomerol plateau (between Clinet and L'Église-Clinet). Clos L'Église has been returning since 2011 to a more harmonious, melting and tasty version, similar to the style of La Conseillante.

The 2020 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 93/100 “The Poesia 2020 has a slightly more opulent bouquet than the Barde-Haut, with aromas of black cherry, crushed violet and peony. The wine is beautifully concentrated and wonderfully pure. The palate is very balanced and elegant, with wonderful tension and a silky, very taut finish. This wine has moved up a gear since I tasted it in barrel. It comes highly recommended.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - February 2020): 95/100 “Plum, black cherry, chocolate, spice, new leather and licorice are all amped up in this luscious, voluptuous, flamboyantly ripe Saint-Émilion. Plush contours add to the considerable appeal of a wine that finishes with terrific energy, brightness and power.”
J-M Quarin (October 2020): 90/100 “Soft on the attack, melting in the mid-palate, very palatable, this wine stretches out dense and deep, with a chalky touch in the persistence. It's long and very good.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 93/100 “The palate has a very sensual opening: sweet blackberry, balsamic, white pepper and light graphite notes from the 20% Cabernet Franc. It's linear and strict for now, which bodes well for the future.”
