This first scents are floral in character, accompanied by a touch of blackcurrant and raspberry, but aeration reveals graphite and slightly smoky notes. The palate is perfectly balanced and expresses clearly the potential of this estate. The 2018 de Millery is a racy thoroughbred that will go the distance without effort, a telltale sign being its chalk-infused yet airborne finish. Should age well for 20 to 25 years. Drinking Window 2025 - 2035. ... More details

Made with consulting advice from the up-and-coming Thomas Duclos (the vineyards are managed by the team at Figeac), the 2018 Château de Millery appears to be a thrilling Saint-Émilion based on 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc that’s still resting in 80% new barrels. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a medium to full-bodied, plump, rounded 2018 that has perfumed notes of wild strawberries, blueberries, blood orange, and violets. It’s exotic, pure, and seamless, and unquestionably a beautiful wine.

From Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, the 2018 de Millery is made up of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. It is maturing in 80% new and 20% two-year-old barrels for a projected 16 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up bright, expressive notes of Morello cherries, black raspberries and crushed black plums with touches of smoked meats, fried herbs and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, it has a soft texture and bags of juicy fruit, finishing on a lingering savory note.

The 2018 Château de Millery, owned by the de Manoncourt family, is very refined and pure on a nose that gradually unfurls to offer alluring scents of black cherries, raspberry coulis, orange blossom and mulberry. It gains intensity with aeration but maintains its elegance and poise. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, beautiful balance and a slightly granular texture toward the finish. It feels more consanguineous with Figeac than the Petit Figeac tasted alongside! So perhaps for those who can ill afford that pricier wine, de Millery is the place to come.
Wine Spectator
A delightfully pure, fresh style, with violet, plum and cassis notes allied to a silky frame, backed by a light mineral echo on the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2024. 375 cases made.

Varietal: Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
