2018 vintage. As Juliette Ɓécot wanted to produce more elegant, accessible wines, Thomas Duclos replaced Michel Rolland as consulting oenologist with the 2017 vintage. I must say the new style is extremely convincing, and this 2018 is the best wine I have ever tasted from this estate. Although it is very concentrated, elegance is the keyword here, honouring the fine terroir on the limestone plateau. Raspberries, blueberries, flowers, subtle cedar wood, and a slight hint of fresh mint fighting for your attention. In the mouth, it seems so effortless, with layers of red and black fruit, velvety tannin and a very, very long mineral finish. The 14,5% abv is beautifully integrated.
