Extreme weather conditions wildly rocked the 2018 vintage between alternating periods of humidity and dryness.
At the heart of the emblematic graves of Saint-Julien, the vine was able to show us, once again, the magical effect of terroir.
From this extraordinary equation is born a vintage that sings harmoniously with elegance, complexity and balance.

Richly dense and impressively concentrated, this is a powerful wine. Swathes of black fruits show off the Cabernet structure and dark, ageworthy character of this wine. Drink the wine from 2027.

Waves of warmed cassis, mocha and warm tar aromas lead the way, while the core of macerated plum, blackberry and blueberry fruit waits its turn, showing admirable breadth and depth when it arrives, with roasted apple wood, bramble and cast iron buried deeply through the finish. This is a powerfully rendered wine with a cashmere scarf as accent. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2040. 15,000 cases made.
