Winemaker Notes
Chateau Hanteillan is classic cru bourgeois, with good color, and a complex nose typical of the Haut-Medoc: meaty, ripe black fruit, a smoky, cedarwood character and a refreshing hint of green pepper. On the palate, it is well-structured, with a good balance of tannins, crisp acidity and ripe fruit. The wine is very well-made, and this shows through in the silky texture and integrated oak complexity.

The winery really has come back to its former glory with this vintage. Full body, beautiful fruit with a spicy character. Could be cru classé character.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Hanteillan offers attractive blackberry, wild hedgerow and violets scents on the nose -- well defined and demonstrating commendable precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp acidity and impressive structure with a finish that is worthy of a classified growth. Wines like this do great credit to the Cru Bourgeois and to Bordeaux. Excellent. Tasted September 2016.
