Les Champs Libres Vintage:2018 silky plumsThe 2018 Les Champs Libres is more backward than the 2017, deprived the same delineation and mineralit by that summer's warmth. The palate is better with welcome flintiness on the entry, more energy and generosity coming through. A peppery touch on the close ensures this finishes on a high. Tasted from ex chteau magnum at Kate & Kon's 40 Year vertical in Austria.
