Clos Badon St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2023

Inky and rich, intense and concentrated, bright spice, nuanced fennel, touches of bitter aniseed, this is good quality, a ton of character, if highly charged. Jean-Luc Thunevin, classified since 2022 ranking. This is located where Valandraud used to be, and still made in the garage that used to make Valandraud. 5.8ha (up from 3.8ha before the ranking), the original vines are down by Haut-Simard. 100% new oak, 3.8ph, harvest September 27 to 30.
