The 2023 vintage in Saint-Julien
Vintage benchmark: 91/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: July mildew followed by a hot September demanded strict selection: fleshy, aromatic wines, more approachable than 2022.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Saint-Julien. 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
A beautiful, intense ruby color. A nose of well-ripened black fruit, combined with a lovely freshness. On the palate it is both supple and powerful, supported by an elegant tannic structure characteristic of the Saint-Julien terroir
