- Critic tasting note: "(2019) This blend of aromatic varieties including Voishino, Malvasia and Moscatel, was a Wine of the Week in its previous vintage, and this could easily have made that slot too: beautifully fresh, perfumed and crisp, yet with a bit of slippery texture and weight, good orchard and stone-fruit concentration, and a zippy finish." - 88/100, Tom Cannavan

(2019) This blend of aromatic varieties including Voishino, Malvasia and Moscatel, was a Wine of the Week in its previous vintage, and this could easily have made that slot too: beautifully fresh, perfumed and crisp, yet with a bit of slippery texture and weight, good orchard and stone-fruit concentration, and a zippy finish.

2017 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2018

The style of this wine, with its soft texture punctuated with acidity, is immediately attractive. It has lemon flavors along hints of pineapple and white fruits. The texture, lightly mineral, gives the wine its good balance. Drink the wine from 2019. Roger Voss

2017 Vintage Tasted: Sep 2018

When to drink: 2019 to 2026

Dezent aber mit recht erdiger Stilistik und völlig ungeschminkt, etwas weisse Blüten und auch herbe Kräuter. Druckvoll, noch jung, hat Grip und Kraft, garniert mit einem Hauch Kamille und Melisse. Sehr dichtmaschig, langes erdiges Finale.

The 2017 vintage is perhaps most notable for having both devastating frosts and wildfires.

In France, there were clear winners and losers with many regions ravaged by severe April frosts. Although Bordeaux failed to produce a legendary vintage, some very good wines were made. For the most part, the wines are best suited to sh...
