The Wine Cellar Insider
92/100
The top Cuvee from the property offers a nose with flowers, plums, chocolate, licorice and smoke in the perfume. Lush, round, soft and polished, the wine is loaded with sweet red berries from start to finish, leaving with a nice sweetness of the fruit, espresso, mint and dark cocoa. You can enjoy this on release but it should be better with a year or two of age. Drink from 2023-2033.

93/100
Belle intensité florale dans le bouquet d’Ecrin. Invitantes nuances de violettes et de notes crayeuses, suivies de parfums de cerises et de mûres. Beaucoup de finesse ! En bouche le vin est frais, compact et bien soutenu par ses tannins aux grains fins. Bonne persistance fruitée de la finale. Un vin à découvrir ! 2024-2039

Pretty nose of plums, currants, dried roses and hazelnuts. Medium-bodied, juicy and creamy with fine tannins. Delicious finish. Drink or hold.
INFOS
Presentation
This wine is the jewel in the estate's crown: a selection of the best plots, sorting to keep only the best berries, separate vinification in small stainless steel vats and barrel ageing coupled with aging in amphora and jars.
This is a delicate, elegant, complex wine, perfect for laying down for a decade or so, but also a quicker approach for the more impatient! A rare wine produced in small quantities.
The vintage
The 2019 vintage follows in the footsteps of recent great Bordeaux vintages. The winter was surprisingly mild, followed by a rather cool spring. Summer was hot, but the rain came at just the right time on several occasions: in July and August, then a few showers in early September. These rains were a lifesaver, keeping the grapes fresh and energized before harvest.
