Sunshine was undoubtably the hallmark of the 2018 vintage in Burgundy, remarkable levels of it from April right through to September. It resulted in a truly glorious "heatwave vintage" (Wine Enthusiast), whispered to be one of the greatest ever. Domaine de Malande is owned by Lyne Marchive, who inherited it from her father André Tremblay, and she has certainly made the most of the vintage. The wine showcases wonderful power, richness and intensity, all whilst still retaining that all important vibrancy and minerality. These will enable it to age a full 10 years. Fermentation in seasoned oak barrels enhances the ripe, creamy texture, with only a hint of oak spice. Tightly packed and very fine, it needs time to unfurl. Open early or cellar.
