The 2018 vintage in Entre-deux-Mers
Vintage benchmark: 89/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A hot, dry summer gave ripe, generous whites, broad rather than lively.
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 wine has a ruby red color, a fresh nose with fruit aromas, a frank and clean mouth and tannins with finesse and substance. A long and smooth finish, very pleasant.
