Scev Vignobles Chatonnet Château Haut-Chaigneau Red 2018 Lalande-de-Pomerol
Description
Viticulture
Integrated viticulture - Drastic reduction in the use of phytosanitary products in the vineyard.
Vinification
In stainless steel vats. Each plot is vinified separately using the most modern techniques, but in the pure Bordeaux tradition.
Wine aging
12 months in barrels (25% new, 65% used for a previous vintage and 10% for two previous vintages)
Vintage details
Black, dense, fat and juicy, the Merlots are impressive. Powerful, fruity and floral at the same time, the Cabernet Francs are brilliant. The blend of these two famous grape varieties gives a powerful and fat Haut-Chaigneau 2018 that is similar to the 2005, 2009 and 2010, to name but the most recent. A magnificent vintage.
Tasting notes
2018 is truly a beautiful vintage of Haut-Chaigneau, seductive, with good structure on the palate and very good length, a vintage that is also particularly rich in tannins, with unprecedented complexity and exceptional aromatic and gustatory freshness due to a natural concentration linked to the small yield (36hl/ha). A vintage that consumers will be able to appreciate immediately, but which will be a sure bet when aged.
