Château Saint-Georges Côtes Pavie - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru - Côte Madeleine - Rouge - 2018

Wine:

The 2018 red Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Côte Madeleine skillfully harnesses its sunny vintage with precision and balance. The maturity is evident, with plump Merlots, notes of licorice, and balsamic. However, the richness and opulence of the year are well-contained by a disciplined style, resulting in a balanced, refined juice of moderate intensity, ready to drink today yet capable of aging for another 10 years.
