Most French winegrowers are delighted with this time of year. <strong>vintage 2018<\/strong>We hope that this will not be a repeat of 2017, which was a very difficult year. This year 2018, in addition to winning the World Cup, France is also one of the big winners of the world harvest competition. The further north you go, the more beautiful the grapes. Volumes produced were well above those of 2017. Ideal conditions for full ripening, grapes of fantastic quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>BORDEAUX<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The 2018 vintage is unlike any other. At the same time, every vintage is different, but this one has character and has managed to get through a very complicated start to the season for the winegrowers. For almost 6 months, Bordeaux estates endured uninterrupted downpours. While this is good news for the subsoils, which have been able to fill up with water, it's a completely different story for the health of the vines, which will have to cope with high humidity in their rows. It was at this precise moment that mildew appeared and devastated part of the vineyard. Some ch\u00e2teaux even lost up to half their vines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">But then, Mother Nature doing things right, everything went back to normal from mid-July onwards, with the sun making its grand return and almost never leaving the vineyard again. The vines had all the climatic conditions required to produce a super vintage. Warm days, cool nights and a reserve of water under their feet to self-manage against the hydric stress of an overly insistent sun. Both banks of the river managed the hot summer rather well, even if some of the Chateau wines did reach relatively high alcohol levels. The 2018 vintage should therefore be ranked alongside the 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2016 as one of the very good vintages of the century. With a slight preference for the Left Bank, and more specifically for the Pessac L\u00e9ognan and Margaux appellations, which, unlike the wines a little further north, managed the peaks of high heat better. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which love this type of weather, have reached extreme maturity, adding that little something extra to the Merlot to create some magnificent blends. As for the right bank, it's also doing very well. Whether in Pomerol or Saint-Emilion, the wines are more powerful, with more tannin than usual. That's why you'll need to be a little more patient than usual to enjoy these wines, and let the velvety, round flavors take their place in the bottle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The same is true of the white wines. The Sauvignon grapes have reached excellent ripeness, with notes of citrus and exotic fruit, the sign of a complete vegetative cycle. The same goes for the sweet wines, which are well-balanced and full-bodied without being overly sweet. A great success here too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">If you'd like to taste a few bottles from this fine 2018 vintage, here's a small, non-exhaustive selection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/saint-emilion-2018\/chateau-mangot-2018.html\">Saint-Emilion Grand Cru - Ch\u00e2teau Mangot 2018<\/a> : <\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ch\u00e2teau Mangot is a wonderful discovery.

Climatologically speaking, Burgundy is in the same frame of mind as Bordeaux. A period of heavy rain will dampen the vines and encourage the development of disease. This time, however, our Burgundian friends will be lucky enough not to be overly affected by mildew or other diseases. There will be little or no hail or frost this spring, which will also be good news for our winegrowers, who won't have to battle against the cold for hours on end.  Then, the fine weather will make its appearance, and as in much of France, the vines will soak up the sun to reach a very interesting alcoholic and phenolic ripeness, even rarely achieved. The 2018 vintage is considered to be one of the three finest Pinot Noir years of the millennium. When it comes to sunshine and heatwave years, the northernmost Pinot Noirs are the ones to go for. We immediately think of the C\u00f4te-de-Nuit wines, which reach fantastic ripeness. Powerful tannins and well-developed aromas herald great ageing potential for these red wines. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">However, be careful when selecting these vignerons, as some of them have opted for higher yields, even if this means sacrificing quality and concentration. In C\u00f4te de Beaune, the reds are pleasant. They retain their aromatic power and greediness without excess. Here too, the choice of winemakers is important to ensure that freshness and acidity don't take over at the expense of deliciousness. The 2018 vintage was therefore a very good one, allowing the winemaker to take a breather. Not too much stress from disease, not too intense a frost and a harvest that went perfectly with quality and yield. A perfect year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Unfortunately, when a year is great for Pinot Noir, it means that too much sun won't produce a great white vintage. Winegrowers must therefore strike a balance between fruit and freshness, without harvesting too early, at the risk of not achieving the necessary maturity. Not an easy year for whites, but one that still leaves room for some fine successes. Here too, you'll have to be selective in your choice of wine. In the Chablis region, the year was decent, and the best winemakers succeeded in producing good quality wines. The same goes for M\u00e2connais and Chardonnays, which are not lacking in substance or freshness. On the other hand, for the whites of the C\u00f4te de Nuit and C\u00f4te de Beaune, it looks more complicated to offer white wine lovers balanced wines. The hot weather will exacerbate the acidity deficit, resulting in heavier, more full-bodied wines. And even if winemakers decide to harvest earlier to preserve freshness in their wines, the result will be a lack of substance and fruit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here too we have a selection of great finds for you:<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/nuits-st-georges\/nuits-st-georges-1er-cru-rue-de-chaux-2018-vieilles-vignes-dominique-laurent.html\">Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Rue de Chaux 2018 - Dominique Laurent<\/a> :\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A long-standing partner, Dominique Laurent has taken advantage of this superb vintage to offer us a powerful, racy Nuits Saint Georges.

The estate is rated 95-97\/100 on this 2018 vintage, which you'll have to wait years to open. Power, complexity and minerality. That's what characterizes it.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">RH\u00d4NE in 2018<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Once again, the Northern and Southern segmentation of the Rhone Valley should be taken into account when buying wine for the 2018 vintage. Although the quality of white wines remains similar, with fruity, fleshy wines of great complexity, these are best enjoyed young, lacking the tension to push the ageing process. It's the red wines where the difference is most obvious. Although both are of excellent quality, the two regions did not really experience the same summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In the northern Rh\u00f4ne Valley, everything went magnificently well. The region benefited from the same weather as Bordeaux, i.e. abundant rainfall in the spring, without suffering any major attacks of mildew. Water reserves were sufficient to withstand the very hot summer weather, giving the grapes the chance to reach the ripeness they so desperately needed. As a result, very high quality Syrah grapes will return to the cellars very ripe, but without excess and above all with volume. A magnificent year for our winegrowing friends. All the red appellations are top-notch, from C\u00f4te-R\u00f4ties to Hermitage and Cornas. The wines are powerful and well-structured, made for long ageing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Unfortunately, it's not the same story in the southern Rh\u00f4ne Valley. Here, the vineyards were unable to cope with the heavy downy mildew caused by heavy rains, and many owners lost almost all their grapes. Some very large estates will not be releasing a 2018 vintage. As for the other estates that will be lucky enough not to be affected by the disease, the grapes are of good quality. Admittedly, phenolic ripeness is a little lower, but the wines are aromatic, opulent and will appeal when young. As you can see, if you want Rh\u00f4ne wines for laying down, you'll have to go north, and if you want to enjoy wines more quickly, you'll have to go south. One thing is certain, the 2018 vintage is a very good one throughout the region, with a few twists and turns left and right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Here too we have a selection of wines just for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/crozes-hermitage\/crozes-hermitage-2018-au-fil-du-temps-emmanuel-darnaud.html\">Crozes Hermitage - Au fil du temps 2018 - Emmanuel Darnaud<\/a> :\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It all began just 20 years ago at Crozes Hermitage, and since then the domaine has continued to grow and progress.
