The 2014 La Creation is the tiny property owned and run by Yseult de Gaye, married to Jean-Antoine Nony of Grand-Mayne and whose family owns Château Grand Corbin Manuel in Saint Emilion. The 4.6-hectare estate was known as La Tour Robert until 2012 when the de Gayes acquired the estate. It offers attractive blackberry, wild strawberry and incense aromas on the nose, generous yet maintaining fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, quite linear and compact at the moment, and yet the detail and mineralité is very commendable, especially on the nuanced finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle and then consume over the next decade or so. This is delightful.
