Note di degustazione
Full bottle just 1,280 g. The second label named after, possibly made by, the Juliens' daughter. Rich, shaded, concentrated ruby with impressive fruit richness but freshness too. This is St-Émilion at its best – not forced, just carefully made from carefully tended vines. Long. Great balance. Quite a surprise from a second wine! (JR)

The 2012 La Fleur Morange Mathilde is bottled after only 12 months in barrel and represents 100% Merlot from proprietor Jean-François Julien. It is an exuberant, extroverted style of Bordeaux, with loads of fruit and a dark ruby/purple color. A hedonistic fruit-bomb, it is soft, round, medium-bodied and best drunk over the next 5-6 years.
The 2012 Mathilde is a pure, hedonistic St.-Emilion fruit bomb that achieved 14% natural alcohol. Seductive, lush and round, this richly fruity effort possesses lots of raspberry and black currant fruit as well as a hint of spring flowers, low acidity and ripe tannin. It is aged totally in stainless steel prior to bottling. Drink it over the next 3-5 years. Another exclusivity of Jeffrey M. Davies Signature Selections, this excellent estate produces an early-bottled cuvee from 100% Merlot called Mathilde. From a 5-acre parcel of 80-year-old vines cropped at 25 hectoliters per hectare, it is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc that reached 14.5% natural alcohol.
