Description
Bordeaux, France. JS92pts :
Blackcurrant, blackberry, pencil-lead, cedar and dark-chocolate aromas. Some vanilla bean, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Tight and concentrated. Better from 2025.
Falstaf 90pts :
Deep dark ruby, purple reflections, delicate bright rim. Fine black forest berry, delicate fig and nougat, inviting bouquet. Juicy, sweet cherry fruit, discreet tannin’s, already accessible, some chocolate in the aftertaste, offers uncomplicated drinking pleasure.
Decanter 91pts:
A good estate to note down. Brothers Ludovic and Julien Meffre are making good wines here outside of the classified rankings that dominate the appellation. It has a touch of hedgerow in it, which in my mind is shorthand for not being over-polished, so you still get a sense of vibrancy but of actually being made by someone, not pulled off a conveyor belt. It’s not the most sumptuous 2018 that you’re going to find, but it’s beautifully enjoyable, full of vigour and displays the ripe fruit of the vintage. Drinking Window 2026 – 2038.
