"Confidential plot of land in Les Moriers!

"Like all 2018s, this is a powerful, muscular wine, but after a few years in the wilderness, it returns to civilization. Deep, savory aromas of undergrowth. Tannins are very compact, but now integrate wonderfully. Very long, structured finish. La Brirette is the steep heart of this famous site. No hurry with this one. (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:

Like all 2018s, this is a powerful, muscular wine, but after a few years in the wilderness, it returns to civilization. Deep, savory aromas of undergrowth. Tannins are very compact, but now integrate wonderfully. Very long, structured finish. La Brirette is the steep heart of this renowned site. No hurry with this one. For drinking or cellaring.
