2018 du Glana (St-Julien)

A good estate to note down. Brothers Ludovic and Julien Meffre are making good wines here outside of the classified rankings that dominate the appellation. It has a touch of hedgerow in it, which in my mind is shorthand for not being over-polished, so you still get a sense of vibrancy but of actually being made by someone, not pulled off a conveyor belt. It`s not the most sumptuous 2018 that you`re going to find, but it`s beautifully enjoyable, full of vigour and displays the ripe fruit of the vintage. 91 points
