Biodynamic. Grolet’s Tête de Cuvée is an annual selection of the Estate’s finest 20 barrels. The blend varies from year to year, with the ‘18 coming in at 90% Merlot supported by 10% Malbec, predominantly from the Estate’s oldest (60- to 70-year-old) vines.
From a great vintage that has some commentators referencing years like 2010, 2009 and 1982, Guillaume Hubert’s lo-fi Côtes de Bourg has inviting aromas of dark plum and cherry, fruitcake spices such as nutmeg and clove, and some cedar aromatics. The palate takes things up a notch with a core of dark, concentrated, supple plummy fruit, nicely supported by focussed acidity and well-judged, fine-grained tannin.
