DEPARDIEU - MA VERITE 2002

Well-known actor Gerard Depardieu is producing this garage wine with the assistance of Bernard Magrez (the proprietor Pape-Clement). Crop thinning was accomplished at 2-3 bunches of grapes per vine in this 5-acre vineyard planted with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot. This terrific 2002 should merit a 90-point score after bottling. It possesses great fruit in addition to a big, spicy, cedary nose with background toasty oak. Opulent, layered, and multidimensional, with tremendous fruit and intensity as well as seamlessly integrated tannin, it's a shame there is not more available. It proves what can be done in the Haut-Medoc from a draconian selection as well as conservative viticultural and winemaking techniques.
