The 2014 vintage in Saint-Émilion
Vintage benchmark: 89/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: The Indian summer served the cabernet francs better than the merlots: sound, fresh wines, without great depth.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Saint-Émilion. 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
Dark red color with cherry highlights. Fresh nose with aromas of red fruits and nicely enhanced by notes of blond tobacco and coriander. The palate presents a nice acidity with a good balance. The oak character is fine and elegant with a fresh and delicately fruity finish.
