The 2023 vintage in Pauillac
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 Pauillac. 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
The wine offers a brilliant garnet-colored color with purple reflections. The finesse and precision are revealed from the first moments with aromas of fully ripe black berries. Discreet notes of pastry, confectionery and dark chocolate accompany the whole, offering a harmonious balance between freshness and opulence. Creamy and fleshy, it displays powerful, distinguished tannins, harmoniously integrated, giving it beautiful energy. Graphite and empyreumatic notes add remarkable depth and complexity. Flavors of roasted hazelnuts and cocoa bean last for a long time.
