The 2018 vintage in Bordeaux stands as one of the most thrilling modern vintages—a year of extremes that yielded wines of immense depth, concentration, and sensuality. The growing season began with challenges: a wet, humid spring brought pressure from mildew and tested the mettle of vignerons. Yet from July onward, nature shifted dramatically. A long, dry, sun- drenched summer followed by an ideal September created small, thick-skinned berries packed with ripe tannins and lavish fruit. The best estates, those with the means to manage the early-season adversity and the patience to wait for perfect phenolic ripeness, crafted wines that are both powerful and finely poised—an extraordinary combination that defines 2018.
In the glass, the reds of 2018 are profoundly expressive, marked by an opulence of fruit balanced by freshness and structure. Cabernet Sauvignon on the Left Bank achieved remarkable ripeness without losing its graphite precision or violet perfume, producing deeply colored wines of muscular grace from Pauillac, Saint-Julien, and Margaux. On the Right Bank, Merlot and Cabernet Franc reached a level of texture and seductiveness reminiscent of 2009 but with better balance—Pomerol and Saint-Émilion yielded wines of luxurious density and haunting aromatics. Across appellations, the hallmark of the vintage is its tactile intensity: silky yet structured tannins, generous mid-palates, and an extraordinary persistence that speaks to both richness and harmony.
2018 has been placed among the top echelon of Bordeaux vintages—joining 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015, and 2016—but with a distinct identity of its own. These are wines that unite hedonism with seriousness, exuberance with precision. The best examples possess the depth to age gracefully for decades, yet are already captivating in their youth thanks to their plush fruit and refined tannic polish. In essence, 2018 produced modern Bordeaux at its finest: wines born of adversity but finished in triumph, capturing both the resilience of the region and the timeless allure that has made Bordeaux the benchmark for great red wine.

The 2019 Bordeaux vintage is a masterpiece of balance—an almost miraculous alignment of ripeness, freshness, and clarity that many consider the most classically beautiful of the recent great trio (2018–2019–2020). The growing season began with a mild winter and a wet spring, replenishing water reserves. Then came a hot, dry summer punctuated by perfectly timed late summer rains that refreshed the vines and allowed for ideal ripening. Harvest conditions were calm and steady, giving producers the freedom to pick at their leisure, parcel by parcel. The result was fruit of pristine health and perfect phenolic maturity, translating into wines that combine the concentration of 2018 with the vibrancy and precision of 2016.
Stylistically, the 2019 reds are defined by their harmony and sense of effortless grace. On the Left Bank, Cabernet Sauvignon achieved a rare equilibrium between ripeness and tension—Pauillac, Saint-Julien, and Saint-Estèphe in particular produced wines of majestic structure and energy, with pure cassis fruit, mineral depth, and finely sculpted tannins. The Merlot-driven wines of the Right Bank, especially from Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, show stunning sensuality, layered black and red fruit, and a crystalline freshness that keeps them from excess. Across Bordeaux, there is a remarkable sense of precision in the winemaking: oak use is refined, alcohols are moderate, and the natural acidity of the vintage lends a beautiful lift and longevity to even the most powerful cuvées.
2019 stands as the “complete” vintage—combining the richness of 2018 with the classical definition of 2016 and the aromatic finesse of 2010. It’s a vintage that speaks less through drama and more through purity and proportion. The wines are approachable young, thanks to their supple tannins and vibrant fruit, yet their impeccable balance ensures they will evolve gracefully for decades. In the long arc of Bordeaux history, 2019 will be remembered as a year that reaffirmed the region’s greatness—not through excess, but through precision, poise, and a quiet confidence that defines true excellence.
