The 2018 La Prade is rich, explosive and just gorgeous. Inky dark cherry, mocha, spice, rose petal and blood orange all build as this sumptuous, bold Côtes de Francs. The 2018 captures the richness of the vintage and yet retains terrific energy. La Prade has come together so beautifully over the last two years. It's a winner from Nicolas Thienpont.
