The 2014 vintage in Pauillac

Vintage character: A gloomy summer redeemed by an Indian summer: the cabernets are radiant and the freshness is true to the Médoc.
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
Château Pibran 2014 has a beautiful, intense purple color. Its open nose is made up of well-ripened red fruit, caramel, then mentholated notes. On the palate, a fruity, balanced and powerful attack. Its finish is long and fresh, closing on peppery notes.
