Note di degustazione
The vintage character comes through in the evident rosemary and black pepper spice. There are impressive layers of coffee bean, raspberry and black cherry fruits, and a swirl of smoked cedar, brioche and patisserie cream. Fermentation temperature was kept to 26°C to ensure gentle extraction after the hot summer, but the tannins feel just a little over-emphasied at this point, definitely needs more time in bottle. Marjolaine de Coninck technical director, owner Nathalie Perrodo. Harvest September 25 to October 12. 65% new oak.

Tasted blind. Heady nose. Mouth-filling with structure and a strange hint of grapefruit peel! An interesting wine… Real energy here. Luscious. Quite long. (JR)
The 2018 Marquis d’Alesme (the Becker is only noted on the back label!) has a beautiful and very pure bouquet of violet-tinged black fruit, crushed rock and India ink scents, all very seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, perfectly pitched acidity and a velvety-smooth texture that lingers. Plush and extraordinarily harmonious, and one of the purest 2018s you will find on the Left Bank.
