This St. JOHN Déclassifié Pauillac 2018 is a rare treasure from Bordeaux's Left Bank, quietly acquired from the cellars of a top Grand Cru Classé château. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, this 13.5% ABV red wine delivers all the hallmarks of classic Pauillac, blackcurrant, cedar and graphite, with the structure and refinement you'd expect from one of the region's most esteemed producers.

With firm tannins and excellent ageing potential, this full-bodied, dry red wine overdelivers while maintaining the understated elegance that defines the St. JOHN approach to fine wine. It's a bottle that speaks volumes without shouting, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs who value substance over show.

This exceptional vintage is for serious wine lovers seeking Bordeaux excellence without the inflated cost of a branded Grand Cru, a rare opportunity to experience world-class winemaking at its most honest and direct.

Why It Stands Out

  • Grand Cru Heritage: All the quality without the branded premium.
  • Exceptional Terroir: From Pauillac's distinctive gravelly soils.
  • Cellar-Worthy Structure: Built for aging with impressive tannic backbone.
  • Rare Opportunity: Limited access to classified château production.
  • Perfect Balance: Power and elegance in equal measure.

Tasting Notes

Expect a profile of concentrated blackcurrant and dark cherry, layered with cedar, graphite and subtle tobacco notes, all wrapped in firm yet refined tannins that promise both immediate pleasure and rewarding evolution.

About The Producer

St. JOHN brings the same uncompromising commitment to authenticity found in their acclaimed restaurants to their red wine programme, focusing on honest quality and transparent sourcing rather than marketing hype. This déclassifié offering exemplifies their philosophy: exceptional substance without unnecessary flash.
