Expression de Saint Julien 2019. The Saint-Julien appellation is one of the most respected on Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Known for its gravelly soils, which provide excellent drainage and retain warmth, the vineyards are perfectly suited for growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The nearby Gironde estuary brings with it a mellow, moderate climate that creates a luxuriously long growing season, meaning that the grapes can ripen more slowly and develop more complex flavours. The 2019 season in Bordeaux was exceptional, marked by warm days and cool nights, which contributed to the development of deeper, more elaborate flavours in the fruit. L’Expression is focused on traditional winemaking techniques combined with modern innovations, and they’ve created a wine that truly expresses their ethos. This vintage is rich and full-bodied, with layers of dark fruit, tobacco, and a subtle touch of oak. Its firm tannins make it an ideal match for roast meats like lamb, or aged cheeses..
