Blackcurrant, blackberry, pencil-lead, cedar and dark-chocolate aromas. Some vanilla bean, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Tight and concentrated. Better from 2025.

A good estate to note down. Brothers Ludovic and Julien Meffre are making good wines here outside of the classified rankings that dominate the appellation. It has a touch of hedgerow in it, which in my mind is shorthand for not being over-polished, so you still get a sense of vibrancy but of actually being made by someone, not pulled off a conveyor belt. It s not the most sumptuous 2018 that you re going to find, but it s beautifully enjoyable, full of vigour and displays the ripe fruit of the vintage. Drinking Window 2026 – 2038.
