There is plenty to enjoy in St-Estèphe in the Bordeaux 2018 vintage, but look out for atypical flavours and characteristics in some wines, reports Jane Anson.

Pauillac, St-Julien, Margaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc, Listrac, Moulis and Pessac-Léognan & Graves


St-Estèphe is home to plenty of excellent quality, enjoyable bottles in the Bordeaux 2018 vintage, but some wines have atyptical flavours and characteristics, as I also found during en primeur tastings.
