The 2019 Les Grandes Murailles has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, briary and crushed stone. The oak here is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a minerally-opening, fine acidity, cohesive with an elegant and persistent finish. Delightful. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

The 2019 Les Grandes Murailles is seriously impressive. Bright and vibrant, the 2019 marries energy with an extra kick of richness, a super-appealing combination in my book. Red/purplish berry fruit, rose petal, lavender and spice add gorgeous layers of nuance. The 2019 was aged in equal parts barrique and amphora. Les Grandes Murailles has been a bit uneven over the year. The 2019 gives a pretty good idea of what is possible. It is a stellar wine from the Cuvelier family.

The 2019 Les Grandes Murailles has a beautifully delineated bouquet of pure red cherry and blueberry fruit, displaying fine mineralité and great purity. The well-defined palate is medium-bodied, a little flinty, and quite energetic, with an almost pixelated finish. This is one of the best wines that I have tasted from this estate in recent years. Superb. Drinking range: 2025 - 2045 Rating: 94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2022)
From a 2 hectare limestone plot located next to Clos Fourtet, this offers mouthwatering salinity, and a beautifully juicy finish. Moreish and mouth watering with blueberry and cassis fruits but also pretty austere. 50% new oak along with 11% amphoras for the ageing. The Cuvelier family has requested for the next classification that this can be included in Clos Fourtet but for now kept separate - so if you like it, buy your bottles now!
