Tasting Notes

The 2018 Ségla is composed of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from September 27 to October 11, Merlot from September 13-27 and Petit Verdot September 28-29. It has 14% alcohol, and aging is anticipated to be 18 months in barriques, 25% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with quite profound notes of baked blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries and mulberries with underlying cassis, violets, espresso and cracked pepper. The palate is medium to full-bodied with loads of rich fruit and lovely peppery sparks, framed by plush tannins and finishing with great length.

Score: 90 - 92

A lovely Ségla, with precision and elegance yet concentration, flesh and sexiness. There's just a little bit more Cabernet in this blend than usual because the Cabernets had less volume of juice than usual, and so some of the plots that typically go into the grand vin were moved into Ségla - you find this a lot in 2018 because of over-concentration from the dry summer that kicked in right at the end. 32hl/ha yield.

Cherry preserve and black currant notes are nicely melded with incense and black tea details. The fine-grained finish is persistent.

Score: 90 - 93
