Château Le Pré du Moine 2018

Something special happened in Bordeaux (again!) in 2018. Continuing the streak of recent, exceptional vintages, 2018 was marked by another near-perfect growing season, which saw the region’s reds hit terrific levels of richness. Critics raved and, despite the high prices of the big-name wines, collectors reached for their wallets.

The most exciting thing about such a banner year? The sun shines equally on all estates (not just the $1,000-a-bottle icons like Château Lafite). Take, for instance, 18th-century Château Le Pré du Moine, where the Charrut family harvested gloriously ripe Merlot and Cabernet for their special ‘Cuvée Peyrou.’

This is classic Bordeaux, with all the ripeness of the 2018 vintage, plus a freshness that keeps you coming back for more. Decant an hour before serving to ‘open up’ the wine’s wild strawberry and cassis flavors, then enjoy with roasted red meats or hard cheeses. Delicious.
