Helene Garcin-Leveque has been on an absolute tear, building one of the most impressive portfolio of holdings in all of Bordeaux. Clos L’Eglise in Pomerol and Château Barde Haut in the St. Emilion Region. Château Haut-Bergey & Château Branon in Pessac Leognan.
But her most recent acquisition – Chateau Poesia in Saint-Emilion – is the one that has the entire wine world buzzing. The revolution she’s spearheaded has been nothing short of amazing. And I’m sure as this estate reaching its critical apex with the 2016 vintage – that future vintage pricing is set to double or maybe even triple.
Here’s a sampling of the press coverage that is bound to drive pricing up like a hockey stick. Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW and the team at Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called it one of their top ten discoveries of the year before she gave it her vote for her #1 for her favorite underground wine of the year. Jeb Dunnuck gave it 96 points and then named it his #7 Wine of the Year! Other reviewers piled on.
The 2016 Chateau Poesia Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is absolutely gorgeous and reminds us all of why we feel in love with Bordeaux to begin with – especially at the price. I’ll get to that. A bright red-fruit nose hides sneaky hints of complex herbs and dried flowers. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a minerality usually reserved for wines three times the price.

96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Château Poesia is more open and showy compared to the Barde Haut, offering fabulous limestone-like character in its kirsch and currant fruits and notes of dried herbs, white truffle, and dried flowers. Possessing medium to full body, ripe, present tannins, terrific concentration, and a great finish, it’s another incredibly classy Saint Emilion from the Garcin-Lévêque family.
94 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2016 Poesia is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple, the nose delivers vibrant Black Forest cake, redcurrants and Morello cherries notes with touches of cinnamon stick, rose hip tea, pencil shavings, tobacco and milk chocolate. The medium-bodied palate charges out of the gate with bright red berries layers and loads of herbal sparks, framed by rock-solid, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long. It should offer very good aging potential.
94 Points, James Suckling
Subtle aromas of mint, bay leaf and dark berries follow through to a full body with chewy and polished tannins and a tight, structured finish. Extremely long and firm. Give this at least another four or five years to soften and come together.

This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
