Collection: En Primeur Bordeaux 2018
"At the very peak of quality, the 2018s are mind-blowingly incredible"
– Lisa Perotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
"I can tell you that 2018 is an exceptional year for Bordeaux wines"
– James Suckling
"Overall, 2018 is better than 2015 and 2016"
– James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
"Bordeaux winemakers hoping for a big harvest in 2018, after France's cataclysmic frosts of 2017, were disappointed. Heavy rains early in the season led to mildew, while hail in some areas also thinned the crop. Then, the weather dramatically changed course. "Sun, sun, sun," is how Christian Moueix, who oversees several estates on the Right Bank, described the summer, citing data showing record levels of solar exposure. While the growing season was challenging, ideal weather late in the season ripened the crop well. Quantity may be low, but vintners have high hopes for quality."
