Chateau Poesia Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2019
96 Pts, Antonio Galloni – Vinous – 95 Pts, James Suckling – 94+ Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate
Poesia’s 2019 Saint-Émilion bottling was so good, it’s the #1 rated, under $50 Bordeaux from the phenomenal 2019 vintage. Considering the quality of the past decade, it’s not surprising that – nobody beats the QPR that this estate has been bringing to the table. The key here is their balancing of richness with freshness.
On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe black cherries and redcurrants, layered with complex notes of crushed stone, tobacco leaf, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it delivers a generous and supple texture, framed by fine-grained, ripe tannins and a vibrant acidity. The flavors echo the nose, with a core of juicy black fruit that leads to a long, savory finish. While of course it’s approachable in its youth, this wine certainly has the structure and elegance to age beautifully over the coming years.

96 Points, Antonio Galloni – Vinous
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
95 Points, James Suckling
Dried flowers, mimosa, blackcurrants, peppercorns and burnt orange on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tightly wound tannins and crisp acidity. Zesty, mineral character on the tight finish. Lightly smoky at the end.
94+ Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Poesia is a little closed to begin, soon opening out to reveal wonderfully pure notes of crushed red and black plums, fresh blackberries and warm cherries with nuances of allspice, aniseed, potpourri and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound, featuring loads of mineral sparks and a wicked backbone of freshness, with very fine-grained tannins to support, finishing long and vibrant.
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.
