A large vintage of 48.8 hl/hectare - and it shows in the light-ish finish. For the first time, a selection was made and a St. Emilion, Héritiers Fourcaud-Laussac, was bottled for the family shareholders! Lots of spices and a touch of coffee. Should be drunk now, especially in bottle size. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 657:12 bts (owc) 658:12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
