Tasting notes
The 2023 Poesia is stellar, just as it was en primeur . Brisk mineral notes drive through a core of red cherry/plum fruit, white pepper, blood orange and exotic spice. I admire its energy, tension and power. The 2023 is all about balance. Limestone soils lend great saline intensity.

The 2023 Poesia is the best wine from Garçin-Lévêque this year. On the nose, there are perfumed redcurrant and red plum, fine underlying mineralité with more complexity than prior vintages as the vines age. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite spicy and peppery but with lovely grip and structure toward the finish that is driven by the Cabernet Franc. Excellent.
Ripe red and black fruits, spice, chalky minerality, and hints of flowers all define the 2023 Château Poesia, a charming, medium-bodied, forward, delicious 2023 that has supple tannins, beautiful balance, and considerable elegance.
Flowers, black raspberries, oceanic nuances, and just a hint of cocoa pops in the perfume. There is a vibrancy to the salty, red fruits on the palate, with a hint of orange citrus that adds to the complexity in the mildly, peppery, elegant, long, energetic finish. The wine blends 70% Merlot with 30% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV, 3.4 pH.
