Collection: En Primeur Bordeaux 2019

Broadly speaking, the 2019 vintage appears to be very, very good. Beautifully ripe, these are classical Bordeaux wines in a fresher style, with an elegance and purity that is reminiscent of 2015.

"The 2019 vintage is not an exceptional year like last year’s 2018 from barrel when Bordeaux winemakers pulled off a near miracle in their vineyards, picking ripe and opulent grapes in a late, dry and warm harvest following months of problems, including hail and mildew. But so many of the 2019 wines are at the same level of quality as 2018, albeit with less exuberance and plushness in fruit and tannins. The wines seem more typical for Bordeaux – which is a good thing – with a balance of alcohol, cool and blue fruits and fine linear tannins that are refined and driven."
