The 2014 vintage in Entre-deux-Mers
Vintage benchmark: 90/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A bright September after a cool summer gave precise, aromatic whites with plenty of tension.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Entre-deux-Mers. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
This 2014 vintage offers a charming, intense and complex wine, where aromas of cherry and toasted almond meet a touch of spice notes. The purity of the fruit and the silky tannins make it a fine bottle already ready to be enjoyed, but one that will also improve for 3 to 4 years in the cellar.
