Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blockbuster, super-duper Fronsac, the 2011 Haut-Carles reveals an inky/purple color along with exceptional blueberry, blackberry, acacia flower, licorice and camphor notes. Concentrated, full-bodied and rich, it is one of the superstars of the vintage in Fronsac. From proprietors Constance and Stephane Droulers, this beauty merits serious consumer interest. It will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age and drink well for 10-15+ years. It is a sleeper of the vintage. Bravo!
They have brought back to life the property's majesty and lustre of yesteryear and now produce there one of the finest Bordeaux wines, looking ahead to the day when they will be able to pass it on, in turn, to their daughters Eleonore and Oriane.
Since 2007, he has benefited from the expertise of Jean-Luc Thunevin and Doctor Alain Reynaud, legendary figures in the Libourne region, and took on board Jean-Philippe Fort, rising oenology star at Michel Rolland’s Wine Consultancy.
