"... Dichte, blaubeerige, frische Nase, Grafite, dunkle Beeren, feine Süße, Mandeln, große Balance, ganz große Balance, softe aber powervolle Tannine." (2023)

Das Jahr 2017 ermöglichte ideale Erntebedingungen für diesen reinen Merlot und das, obwohl 2017 das Jahr war, in dem Kalifornien eines der schlimmsten Feuer der Landesgeschichte erleben musste. Doch die Reben sowie das Weingut blieben glücklicherweise verschont. Der La Muse 2017 erscheint in einer intensiven violetten Farbe mit granatroten Reflexen. In die Nase steigt der Duft nach Schokolade, frisch gemahlener Kaffee und Kräuteraromen sowie eingelegte Kirschen ergänzen den Genuss. Diese Aromen setzen sich am Gaumen fort und binden feine Backgewürz- und Brombeernoten. Der großartige Abgang ist lang anhaltend und frisch. Ein Wein mit einer phänomenalen Eleganz und Reinheit, der aufgrund seiner Textur bereits heute schon glänzen, aber sich ebenso gut noch 30 Jahre entwickeln kann.

The 2017 La Muse is 100% Merlot for the first time. In this vintage, La Muse stands out for its freshness, energy and red-toned fruit. It will be interesting to see if the 2017 represents a longer-term shift. To be sure, the 2017 is aromatically deep, beautifully persistent and just impeccable in its balance. I liked it more than the 2016.

Soft, fine-grained tannins with spice, berries and iron. Leaves and mushrooms, too. Such purity. Medium to full body, lovely fruit flavors and a long, delicious finish. It’s fine, elegant and refined. Super finish. Beautiful structure. Energetic. 100 percent merlot for the first time. Drinkable now, but better in 2022. (04/2021)

Not far behind, the Merlot-dominated 2017 La Muse offers a big, rich nose of chocolate-covered black cherries, espresso, damp earth, and leafy herbs that gains more bass notes and richness with time in the glass. It tastes like a great Pomerol from La Conseillante. Full-bodied, it has an incredible sense of elegance and purity, plenty of mid-palate stuffing, and a great, great finish. Made from 100% Merlot (this is the first time this cuvée has been all Merlot), it’s another incredible wine from this estate that has the flesh and texture to shine today yet the freshness, purity, and balance to evolve for 30 years or more.

“Our Malbec in 2017 was awesome, it usually gives the spice,” Pierre Seillan told me during the tasting of the 2017s with his daughter and one day successor, Helene. “But this year, we didn’t need it. The alcohol is only 14.2% this year—it has the energy, the minerality. I think it will age for 40 years at least. I think it is the best I’ve made.” Composed of 100% Merlot for the first time this year, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2017 La Muse rolls sensuously out of the glass with scents of black raspberries, Black Forest cake, boysenberries and cinnamon toast, followed by nuances of a garrigue, forest floor, beef drippings and clove oil. Medium to full-bodied, the richly fruited palate slowly builds in the mouth to a crescendo of black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by exceptionally ripe, round tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Stylistically, it stands apart from previously vintages, possessing the same magical intensity, but with less weight and more pop. 2,500 cases were made.

So gut wie Petrus? Warum nicht besser?

Was passiert wohl, wenn ein großer Visionär und ein kompromissloser Qualitätsfanatiker beschließen, zusammen den besten Wein zu machen? Es kann zur Realität werden. Zur Wahrheit. Wir zu Vérité.
