The 2020 Loudenne has a deep purple-black color and intense notes of fresh blackcurrants, ripe black plums and boysenberries, with an undercurrent of dried Mediterranean herbs, pencil lead and wet pebbles. The medium-bodied palate takes a slight dip in the middle, delivering refreshing black fruits with a chewy texture and herbs-laced finish.

Unwinding in the glass with notes of sweet dark berries, plums, bitter chocolate, vanilla pod and spicy new oak, the 2019 Loudenne is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with bright acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully chewy finish. This has plenty of potential, and only the somewhat impactful barrel program depresses my score a little.

Offering up aromas of cassis and licorice framed by a rich patina of creamy new oak, the 2018 Loudenne is medium to full-bodied, rich and supple, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a charming, dramatic style. More demonstrative than the 2019, it will offer a broad drinking window.

Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Loudenne has quite an intense bouquet with black plum, boysenberry jam and crushed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, maybe a little rustic in style but it has charm, personality and is more approachable than others. Tasted September 2017.

Also recommended, but no tasting note given.
