"Aged 12 months in oak, this magnificent 2018 is dressed in a deep color streaked with ruby highlights. The nose is open and expresses black and red fruits with a fine woodiness. Wrapped in a crunchy fruitiness, the very long palate is ample, fleshy and warm, supported by silky tannins and underlined by a pleasant freshness. Very well-balanced ".

About the wine:
Aged 12 months in oak barrels, this magnificent 2018 boasts a deep color streaked with ruby highlights. The nose is open and expresses black and red fruits with a fine woodiness. Wrapped in a crunchy fruitiness, the very long palate is ample, fleshy and warm, supported by silky tannins and underlined by a pleasant freshness. Very well-balanced.
About the domain :
Whether Bordeaux or Bordeaux Supérieur, red, white or rosé, Éric Duffau is a master at making regional AOC wines. In 1979, he took over the family estate in Entre-deux-Mers, on the left bank of the Dordogne. His 46-hectare vineyard is mostly located on hillsides facing Saint-Émilion.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Éric Duffau demonstrates that Bordeaux grape varieties harvested at the right time of ripeness, vinified with care and aged soberly, produce irreproachable vintages at excellent prices in all three colors. The clay terroirs on limestone bedrock, located mainly in Génissac and Moulon, bring out the full flavor of the cuvées, but excessive oakiness can mask the spontaneity of the fruit.
