Presentation
Remarkably situated on a hillside, facing south, the vineyard of Château Goumin enjoys a privileged location. The vines of this Prestige cuvée are planted on a claylimestone soil, and give fleshy and harmonious red wines, which can be drunk young or become excellent wines for laying down. With an irreproachable personality, this Prestige cuvée plays on balance with grace and is discovered in depth and charm.
The vintage
2018 was one of the warmest years since 1900, featuring above-average temperatures, the second hottest summer to date, and abundant sunshine ... Heavy rainfall in the first half of the year was followed by persistent, near-record drought conditions in September.

Tasting
Nice deep red colour, close to ruby, with violet reflections.
The nose is very aromatic and expresses itself with a beautiful intensity and complexity. Notes of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) form a particularly successful marriage with slightly more woody aromas.
The attack is frank. Roundness and sweetness are pleasantly present in the mouth. The woodiness is well balanced. The black fruit notes (blackberry, blackcurrant) are still very present. There is a nice structure, with firm and elegant tannins. The palate is particularly harmonious and balanced.
