From Domaine de Saint-Guirons, this 2018 Pauillac offers a classic expression of the appellation built on restraint and balance rather than flash. The estate is run by the same team behind Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, and that lineage shows in the wine’s composure and clarity.
The blend is almost entirely Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering notes of cassis, black cherry, and graphite, with secondary layers of cedar, tobacco leaf, and subtle earth. On the palate, it’s firm and structured, with fine-grained tannins and a fresh, linear spine. The 2018 vintage brings natural depth and ripeness, but the winemaking keeps everything in check, favoring precision over power.
This is Pauillac in a traditional register — serious, age-worthy, and quietly confident. Drinking well now with decanting, but built to evolve gracefully over the next decade. A tremendous value in Bordeaux for those seeking classic Left Bank character without the price tag of a classified growth.
