Another gem of a 2018 is the 2018 Château Faurie De Souchard. Offering a ruby/purple hue as well as gorgeous cassis and black raspberry fruits, it has lots of spice, dried flowers, and sandalwood notes, medium to full body, ripe, silky tannins, and just a seamless, already delicious, balanced style that's going to drink nicely for 15 years.

James Suckling93 pts

Aromas of blueberry, lavender, sandalwood and milk chocolate. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins and a creamy texture. Polished and ripe. Try from 2024.

Dry conditions in second half favored clay and limestone soils. Some beautiful examples but inconsistent overall; late-ripening Cabernet Franc a key player
