‘FAR BETTER IN BOTTLE’: TASTING 2019 BORDEAUX WITH CHATEAU L’EGLISE-CLINET’S NOEMIE DURANTOU REILHAC

Noemie Durantou Reilhac of Chateau L'Eglise Clinet tells James she thinks Bordeaux's 2019 vintage can be considered a "great" one, in part because of the exceptional balance found in the wines."What I was surprised about was the quality of the tannins of the fruit," Noemie says. "When we tried it en primeur it was a very flashy fruit, very seductive. Because of that, I was very really happy with the vintage.. 2019 has gained so much depth so I think it's far better in bottles."Have a listen to find out more from Noemie and James on their thoughts on how the 2018, 2019 and even 2020 vintages compare.
