"Confidential land survey of the hamlet of Les Moriers!"

“Like all 2018s, this is a powerful, muscular wine, but after a few years in the wild, it’s coming back to civilization. Deep, savory aromas of the forest floor. Very compact tannins, but they’ve now integrated beautifully. A very long, structured finish. La Brirette is the rugged heart of this renowned site. No need to rush with this one.” (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:

Like all 2018 vintages, this is a powerful, robust wine, but after a few years in the wild, it has returned to civilization. Deep, savory aromas of the forest floor. Very firm tannins, but they’ve now integrated beautifully. A very long, structured finish. La Brirette is the rugged heart of this renowned vineyard. There’s no rush with this one. Drink now or cellar.
