Love the deep rich ruby colour here, inky and saline expression that has a ton of texture and interest. The sappy fruits of the year are here balanced and laced with depth and character. Gunsmoke, cold ash, blueberry, raspberry puree, pumice and slate, plenty of life ahead. JC Meyrou estate director, Emmanuelle Fulchi d'Aligny technical director.

(Saint-Émilion; from a natural amphitheatre of 14 hectares on clay-limestone and Molasses de Fronsadais next to Larcis-Ducasse on the Côte Pavie; 70% Merlot; 20% Cabernet Franc; 10% Cabernet Sauvignon; a final yield of 35 hl/ha; pH 3.25; 13.5% alcohol; tasted at the Association des Grands Crus Classés de St-Emilion press tasting at Dassault and then at Bellefont-Belcier with Emmanuelle Fulchi and Jean-Christophe Meyrou). Big, broad, bold and charged with assorted fresh red and darker berry and stone fruits. Sandalwood. With aeration it’s the gracious cherry and cassis notes that come through. This is very layered and has much more density than many of its peers – but like some of its terroir neighbours, Larcis Ducasse above all (note to self – try to taste these side-by-side from bottle!). I love the ample frame and the silky sense of layering together with the crystalline purity of each layer. Highly stratified and architectural with lovely grip from the crumbly chalky tannins from below. Accessible already but with considerable aging potential, this is one of the stars of the vintage and a reflection both of the path towards the summit of this property and of its great terroir.
