“The Languedoc Prestige 2018, aged primarily in tanks, is a blend of Syrah and Grenache. With more depth and structure than Argali, it offers aromas of cherries and blackberries on the nose, followed by flavors of dark fruit and chocolate, and a medium- to full-bodied palate with silky tannins.” (Wine Advocate 2020 - Joe Czerwinski) A sure bet!

Review by Mr. JAMES C. Posted on July 19, 2022
In my opinion, it's better than the 2017, which was a good wine in its own right.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on September 14, 2021
At once full-bodied, tannic, and light on the palate despite its 14.5% alcohol content, the 2018 Prestige is a concentrated wine with flavors of slightly overripe fruit (cherries and plums), a hint of kirsch, and subtle oak that remains distinctly present. It has a very decent finish with hints of licorice, pepper, and forest floor. However, this 2018 is less convincing than the Prestige from the excellent vintages of 2015, 2016, and 2017, which were more expressive and, above all, more intense. So, has “Le Puech,” as we like to call it in Languedoc, lost some of its former glory? For my part, it is somewhat disappointing, even if it remains a good wine overall, hence a score of 3.5 for a value-for-money ratio that has become average, especially since its price keeps climbing. Served at 18°C after 3 hours of decanting with a duck breast from the Southwest paired with well-ripened black figs. Let’s make the most of it while it’s in season!

2017 made a better impression on me.
