The 2019 vintage in Médoc
Vintage benchmark: 96/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A hot end of summer after a rainy spring gave wines that hold ripeness and freshness together; the cabernets shine here.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Médoc. 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 Poitevin 2019 has a fragrant, floral bouquet with notes of red fruits more present than when tasting in barrels, showing a beautiful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with soft, very homogenous and harmonious tannins. There is a hint of graphite on the finish. An elegant, first-rate Poitevin.
