Bordeaux 2018 revisited: Saint-Emilion 17th March, 2021 by Colin Hay
In the first of a series of appellation profiles to be published over the next few months, our Bordeaux correspondent,
Colin Hay, revisits the 2018 vintage in Saint-Emilion, providing an overview of the appellation in this challenging, heterogeneous yet potentially excellent vintage, and detailed tasting notes on 179 wines. His Pomerol profile will follow shortly, with articles on each of the leading appellations of the Médoc and Pessac-Léognan to be published later in the year.
