"Confidential parcel map of the locality known as Les Moriers!"

"Like all 2018s, this is a powerful, muscular wine, but after a few years in the wild, it is returning to civilization. Deep, savory aromas of undergrowth. Very compact tannins, but now integrating beautifully. Very long, structured finish. La Brirette is the steep heart of this renowned site. No rush with this one." (James Suckling 2024)

About wine:

Like all 2018 wines, this is a powerful, muscular wine, but after a few years in the wild, it is returning to civilization. Deep, savory aromas of undergrowth. Very compact tannins, but now beautifully integrated. Very long, structured finish. La Brirette is the steep heart of this renowned site. No rush with this one. Drink now or keep.
