The 2018 is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in new oak, with a portion of the Cabernet Franc in foudre. A vivid purple color is followed by a vibrant bouquet of blackberries, crème de cassis, crushed violets, spring flowers, and cedar pencil. Beautifully concentrated, full-bodied, and flawlessly balanced on the palate, it has gorgeous tannins, remarkable purity of fruit, and awesome length.

At the beginning of the year, cool weather caused a two-week delay in vine growth. Despite low rainfall, all seemed well until April, when early morning frost hit our early terroirs. Fortunately, the most sensitive areas had not yet budded, thanks to late pruning. Dry, sunny weather right up to the harvest enabled the vines to catch up. Phytosanitary management was untroubled, and the team was able to focus on watering our young vines to limit losses. The harvest was early for our dry whites (17\/08) and for the sweet wines we had to wait for the arrival of humidity and the onset of botrytis. It finally arrived, revealing great purity and virtually no waste. The rain of September 15th and the regular fog allowed the noble rot to progressively take hold. A first sorting on October 1st was promising but confirmed the very low yields of the vintage. Everything accelerated in the second half of October. The teams carried out up to 4 selections to end up with magnificent grapes of great freshness on 29th October.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/b\u003e The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates. On arrival at the winery, they are immediately pressed in small pneumatic presses. After settling, the must is transferred to barrels for fermentation (new barrels for the Semillon, one-wine barrels for the Sauvignon). Each parcel is pressed and vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation is stopped as soon as the desired balance between alcohol and sugar is reached. At the end of fermentation, the wines are kept on their lees and stirred regularly until mid-December. After a resting period, the wines are racked and blended before being put back into barrels to age for around 18 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting:\u003c\/b\u003e 2022 offers us a rich and complex Sauternes, marked by the return of a true vintage of noble rot and confit.

Try after 2028. ~ (96) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 3-31-2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Les Forts De Latour brings everything up a substantial notch, offering medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, liquid violets, and spring flower notes. It shows the fresher, pure, focused style of the vintage, has an incredible floral character, ripe, fine tannins, and great finish. Give it 4-5 years at a minimum, and I suspect it's capable of evolving for decades. ~ (94) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 3-29-2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Default","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47481908625666,"sku":null,"price":219.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/products\/Temp_d64131e0-e774-4c6a-9657-c253d24a7f2c.jpg?v=1609202026"},{"product_id":"1982-chateau-la-dominique-saint-emilion-750ml","title":"1982 Chateau La Dominique, Saint Emilion (750ml)","description":"","brand":"Bordeaux Wine Locators","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47630141391106,"sku":null,"price":129.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/files\/Screenshot2026-04-07at11.21.41AM.png?v=1775586206"},{"product_id":"1967-chateau-clos-de-sarpe-saint-emilion-grand-cru-classe-750ml-ex-chateau-release-in-2026","title":"1967 Chateau Clos de Sarpe, Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe (750ml) Ex-Chateau Release in 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eEx-Chateau Release in 2026\u003cbr\u003eReconditioned at Chateau 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes and Reviews from Jeb Dunnuck published on March 18th 2020:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1967 Château Clos de Sarpe offers classic notes of forest floor, dried herbs, and chocolately, savory dark fruits.
