Château d’Ampuis is where the same philosophy, the same seven parcels from Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, and the same 38-month élevage in new oak meet something approaching accessibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeb Dunnuck tasted the 2018 and said it was “going to flirt with perfection” and “certainly in the same league as the famed La Las.” He awarded it 97-99 points. \u003cem\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/em\u003e gave it 97.

Cassis, smoked game, spring flowers, espresso-laced oak, ripe polished tannins and a finish of considerable length. Eight years of bottle development have softened the edges, deepened the fruit and brought the wine’s complexity further forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn magnum — 1.5 liters — the aging curve slows, and the evolution becomes more graceful and complete than it can be in a standard bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the finest back-vintage magnums we have offered this year.
