The 2019 vintage in Moulis
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 Moulis. 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
Colour: a deep garnet hue with brilliant bright purple glints. Nose: intensely aromatic with notes of violets, blackcurrant, flint and cigar-box. Palate: the entry is homogeneously velvety smooth; the tannins are silky; great minerality, beautiful finesse and elegance; outstanding length of flavour.

Winemaking
Harvest 25 September to 14 October 2019. Fermentation of whole uncrushed berries in 51 temperature-controlled stainless steel, oak and concrete vats of capacities designed for plot by plot vinifications; extraction through pump-overs; a vatting time of 20 to 25 days. The yields and concentration levels in the grapes were satisfactory. The richness and aromatic complexity in all of the grape varieties harvested at the estate promised, right from the picking, great potential, which was confirmed at the beginning of the ensuing ageing process. The resulting wine, with its superb balance, finesse and depth, extends a series of wonderful vintages.
Ageing
33% new barrels, 67% second and third-fill barrels, 12 months' ageing.
