Vinous (95)The 2019 En Grands Champs is so seductive; it's like tasting silk. You're immediately relaxed when you taste this - forget a day in the spa; just have a bottle of this.

You can enjoy it now as it's absolutely gorgeous, but it's got acidity, concentration and length. The 2019 will continue to evolve gracefully. Savory, lightly spiced, smoky. (70% whole bunches) |
