2018 Château Malescot St Exupéry, Margaux, Bordeaux

2018 Château Malescot St Exupéry, Margaux, Bordeaux
Château Malescot St Exupéry, For laying down,
Deeply coloured, the nose offers great aromatic purity, with blackberries, cassis and dark cherries joined by a hint of smoke and coffee bean. It is beautifully complex. On the palate, the wine opens up with a rich and opulent structure. Velvety tannins combine with dark fruit, plum, spicy pepper notes and a touch of dark chocolate. The 2018 is a wine of power – harmonious and concentrated with a lingering mouth-feel. Drink 2024-2035.

2018 Château Haut-Bages Libéral, Pauillac, Bordeaux

2018 Château Haut-Bages Libéral, Pauillac, Bordeaux
Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal, For laying down,
Claire Villars pointed out that vines after frost are always more sensitive to mildew, but the health of her vines meant she still achieved yields of 45hl/ha. This has a classic Pauillac nose of blackcurrants and cassis, with plenty of ripeness and concentration. The palate has a nice fresh attack, fine tannins and a chalky mineral finish. Drink 2025-2038.

2018 Château Pedesclaux, Pauillac, Bordeaux
Château Pédesclaux, For laying down,
Red fruit and spice mingle with enjoyable gorse and violet aromas on the nose. Smooth-textured with a dense core of dark cherry and lingonberry, this certainly shows its pedigree on the palate. The fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and a bright finish. A delightful little wine. Drink 2022-2035

2018 Château Haut-Batailley, Pauillac, Bordeaux

2018 Château Haut-Batailley, Pauillac, Bordeaux
Chateau Haut-Batailley, For laying down,
The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested a bit earlier here than at Lynch, to capture its freshness. Even under its previous ownership, Haut-Batailley was a discreet, finely grained Pauillac and it remains so, but with more polish from the Cazes team. Jean-Charles wryly observed that this is their best-ever Haut-Batailley (it is their second vintage). Drink 2026-2045.

2018 Echo de Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, Bordeaux

2018 Echo de Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, Bordeaux
Château Lynch-Bages, For laying down,
There is quite a lot of initial tannic grip and the palate will fill out with time in barrel. Beneath it all, there is a positive sense of breeding and thus a lot of promise. As the grand vin shows, this vintage's dual aspects of generosity and power suit the Cazes style well. Very nice notes of black fruit and tobacco. Drink 2024-2035.

2018 Château Malartic Lagravière, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux

2018 Château Malartic Lagravière, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux
Château Malartic Lagravière, For laying down,
This family-run château is situated on a high terrace atop an eight-metre deep gravel hillock just south of the village of Léognan. Its vineyards are naturally irrigated by the nearby river, L’Eau Blanche, helping avoid vine stress in warm weather conditions – something that benefited them in 2018. The wine has generous layers of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and morello cherries, supported by firm, fine tannins and a crisp, fresh core. There is a delicate floral perfume and plenty of balance. Very elegant. Drink 2021-2035.

2018 Château du Domaine de l'Eglise, Pomerol, Bordeaux

2018 Château du Domaine de l'Eglise, Pomerol, Bordeaux
Château du Domaine de L'Eglise, For laying down,
The property is well-situated to the north of the Pomerol plateau, where there is a little more sand and gravel, and the famous Pomerol clay. There are some old vines on the property and the wine has plenty of weight this year, concentrated by the dry summer, with heady roasted notes of ripe damson and prune. Drink 2024-2035.

2018 Château l'Evangile, Pomerol, Bordeaux

2018 Château l'Evangile, Pomerol, Bordeaux
Château l'Evangile, For laying down,
Evangile has some of the same iron-clay soils as Pétrus, but also 25% gravel. The Cabernet Franc buttresses the ripe, late-harvested Merlot. The wine is super-ripe, the palate dense and powerful. The tannins, not acidity, give texture and bite. The wine is muscular but not on steroids; it is in proportion. Drink 2026-2040.

2018 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan

2018 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan
Château la Mission Haut-Brion, For laying down,
The mildew wasn't too problematic at La Mission, but there was hail – the first for 30 years, although, mercifully, no damage was done. There is a fine sense of equilibrium here, with clearly defined tannins offset by a lovely weight of damson fruit on the palate. La Mission's sterner countenance is also detectable, but the mood remains assured. Drink 2023-2032.

2018 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux

2018 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux
Chateau Haut-Brion, For laying down,
The Clarence sets the tone for the Grand Vin beautifully. There is a generous and floral approach before the lovely fluid interplay between tannin and fruit on the palate. The wine then settles and confidently delivers its Haut-Brion calling card of sweet, open-textured savoury fruit. Drink 2023-2032.

2018 Château la Garde, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux

2018 Château la Garde, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux
Château la Garde, For laying down,
There’s quite a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon this year and, accordingly, a bit more tension in the wine than last year. The wine has very appealing lines of graphite and spice, but modulated by a creaminess that comes from the malolactic fermentation in barrel. A thoroughly modern Pessac-Léognan, this is plush and rewarding. Drink 2022-2032.

2018 Château Quinault l'Enclos, St Emilion, Bordeaux

2018 Château Quinault l'Enclos, St Emilion, Bordeaux
Chateau Quinault l'Enclos, For laying down,
Owned since 2008 by LVMH, this 20-hectare estate in the heart of Libourne is in excellent hands, managed by Henri Lurton and the exact same team as its prestigious neighbour, Cheval Blanc. The vineyards have been farmed organically since 2012, and 50% of the vineyard has been renewed since its purchase 10 years ago. The aim is to reduce the impact of oak at this level, and some of the wine is aged in 500-litre foudres. Throughout the wine is the sense of skilful, organised winemaking, with pinpoint fruit – blackberry and cherry, with a bit of spice and luxury on the palate. Drink 2024-2035.

2018 Croix de Beaucaillou, St Julien, Bordeaux

2018 Croix de Beaucaillou, St Julien, Bordeaux
Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, For laying down,
Bruno Borie explained that St Julien had a little less rain than its neighbours, so the resulting berries are very small, up to 15% below average. This effect, combined with a later harvest, has maximised ripeness, creating Bruno’s richest ever vintage for tannins and sugars – yet this is brilliantly supple and full of cedar, spice and pepper notes. Drink 2024-2032.

2018 Château Saint-Pierre, St Julien, Bordeaux
Chateau Saint-Pierre, For laying down,
Of all the St Julien properties, Saint-Pierre is the smallest, but in 2018 it has made a wine full of concentration and intensity. The palate is dominated by flavours of liquorice, blueberries and blackcurrant, with a hint of cigar smoke. The tannins are well balanced, making it an attractive option for earlier drinking. It’s moreish with a long finish. Drink 2021-2032.

2018 Château le Boscq, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

2018 Château le Boscq, St Estèphe, Bordeaux
Château le Boscq, For laying down,
Again, St Estèphe’s terroir has come up trumps in 2018. Le Boscq sits a little to the north of Calon Ségur but still enjoys the typical and formative clays of the appellation. The considerable investment from the owners, Dourthe, is evident in the purity and precision of the wine, which is fresh and spicy with notes of liquorice and coffee. Drink 2022-2032.

2018 Château Figeac, St Emilion, Bordeaux

2018 Château Figeac, St Emilion, Bordeaux
Chateau Figeac, For laying down,
It’s an ebullient Figeac this year. The yield is down 20% because the Cabernet berries were so small, but that has given the wine concentration. There were no mildew or drought stress problems and there was only light extraction to preserve freshness and aromas. With notes of summer pudding and graphite, and amazing tannins, almost melting, this is a big Figeac of the modern era. Drink 2028-2045.

2018 Château Cheval Blanc, St Emilion, Bordeaux
Chateau Cheval Blanc, For laying down,
There has been some Cabernet Sauvignon incorporated in the grand vin since 2016, now ready after having been replanted on one of the more gravelly plots. It does add another dimension, a cooler spine around which Cabernet Franc's peony and lilac notes dance to Merlot's more bacchanalian tune. A brilliantly woven wine. Drink 2030-2060.

2018 Château Moulin Saint-Georges, St Emilion, Bordeaux

2018 Château Moulin Saint-Georges, St Emilion, Bordeaux
Chateau Moulin Saint-Georges, For laying down,
At the bottom of the hill below Ausone and across the road, Moulin Saint-Georges makes a fine, modern St Emilion. The 2018 seemed a little understated aromatically, but that will arrive. The palate is very lush, but with good structure and an appealing chocolatey, sweet, ripe Merlot character. A crowd-pleaser, in the best sense. Drink 2022-2032.

2018 Château Beau-Site, St Estèphe, Bordeaux
Château Beau-Site, For laying down,
This is a strong and solid wine, as you would expect, but St Estèphe's cooler terroir has left an imprint. The vineyard is a neighbour of Calon Ségur and there is an assertive ferric core to the wine.  The gentler extraction – using temperature control and less pumping over – has worked very well.  Dark berry fruits are well to the fore. Drink 2024-2035.

2018 Château Branaire-Ducru, St Julien, Bordeaux

2018 Château Branaire-Ducru, St Julien, Bordeaux
Chateau Branaire-Ducru, For laying down,
This year, the wine sees a little more Merlot in the blend than usual as the old plots performed superbly – as did the Petit Verdot. The mildew was well-controlled, and the yield is 53 hl/ha. It is quite a voluptuous style for Branaire, which comes from the last-harvested plots on clay. The core of the wine remains typically Branaire: perfumed, discrete and sculpted. Drink 2025-2038.

2018 Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases, St Julien, Bordeaux

2018 Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases, St Julien, Bordeaux
Chateau Leoville Las Cases, For laying down,
A lot of the Merlot in this blend is on clay and rather old and, in fact, is being gradually field-grafted over to Cabernet Franc. The huge concentration that this old-vine element imparts can be felt in the rumtopf (macerated fruits) feel. Naturally this gives the wine a rather heady personality, but the nett result is unalloyed pleasure. Drink 2024-2035.

Chateau Leoville Poyferre, For laying down,
Poyferré's maître de chai, Didier Thomann, believes this wine is better than both their 2010 and 2016. Think 1982, he says. In terms of ripeness, he has a point, but this is a much more polished wine. The tannins are glossy, but there is also great density. Elements are almost New World in style, but it retains its Bordeaux heart. Drink 2026-2040.

Chateau Talbot, For laying down,
This is our old friend Jean-Michel Laporte's first vintage here, and it is the start of a new era for Talbot. To build more mid-palate weight, there is more extraction at the start of the fermentation and new oak has also been increased by 10%. The result is the most impressive Talbot for many years, in a deeper and more luxurious style. Drink 2025-2040.

Chateau Sociando-Mallet, For laying down,
Once again this year, Sociando-Mallet – a property neither Classified nor Bourgeois – delivers Classed-Growth-level Claret from its modest Haut-Médoc appellation. The nose is still primary with very pure ripe fruit – plums, cherries and strawberries – along with toasty aromas and hints of coffee bean. It’s well-structured, with perfectly ripe, integrated tannins, offering a rich texture that coats the layers of fruit and spice.

Separated from St Julien only by a stream, this is a really good terroir and so classified as a Fifth Growth. This is almost the epitome of a modern, sleek Claret, succulent but refreshing in youth but rewarding after ageing. The 2018 shows its St Julien roots, with generous and plump flavours combined with classic spice and cedar notes. Drink 2023-2035.

Chateau Chasse-Spleen, For laying down,
This has rich notes of glossy, dark berry fruit with a hint of spicy oak on the nose. Good weight and ripe black fruit fill the palate, balanced by bright acidity and gently grippy tannins on the long, precise finish. A very successful wine from what is arguably the best address in Moulis. Drink 2023-2033.
