Description

This lot is for six bottles of the highly rated 1998 Prieure de Saint Jean de Bebian. This is fully mature wine which is perfect for drinking now. This lot is stored at Vinotheque, having been previously stored in a retailer's cellar.

This wine does not appear to be available anymore in the UK. According to wine searcher, prices internationally range from £32 to £48 a bottle.

Bébian is a wine which ages well and should be opened after at least 3 to 4 years to savour all its complexity. It continues to improve after that up to 8 to 10 years, or even as long as 12 to 15 years in the most excellent vintages. Bébian is an autumn and winter wine, to savour with strongly flavored but refined dishes

The Wine Advocate raved about the 1998 vintage, awarding it 91 points: "On the palate, this highly expressive, medium to full-bodied, powerful wine has layers and layers of impressively intense, dark fruit flavors."

This vintage is also highly rated by the Wine Doctor website. The site's extensive tasting notes are as follows:

Prieuré de St Jean de Bebian Coteaux du Languedoc 1998: A mature colour here, but still with a lot of dense pigment. Smoky, meaty, cigar and tobacco-laced fruit on the nose, and clearly plenty of appeal and interest. It has a lovely and supple texture and very complete composition on entry, with a structured texture through the midpalate and finish. There follows a deeply fruited character, with good grip underneath. It seems gentle, balanced and fresh, well defined rather than rich or velvety, with a stylish coating of tannin at the finish. It has a leaner feel than I recall from earlier in the year, but it has a dry extract which compounds this. Perhaps still with potential to age, thanks to its persistent and smoky, cigarry tannins. Very good indeed. 17.5+/20 (November 2008)

Prieuré de St Jean de Bebian Coteaux du Languedoc 1998: The colour here suggests a little maturity, but there is still a lot of deep red pigment to be found, right out to the rather dusky rim. At first it shows some intense fruit, blackcurrants with a sweet pastille edge, but then a more attractive side, dense, solid and concentrated, blackberry fruit and wisps of smoke. The texture is dense and creamy, yet quite cool and detached, backed up by a dense extract. Through the midpalate more structure shows, with some ripe but dry tannins. This is quite broad in style, and is very pleasing, although it possesses a firm body and a dry character that makes this a good food wine, despite the richness behind it. Slightly tight tannins at the finish though; this is still on the way up. Very good indeed. 17+/20 (February 2008)

Prieuré de St Jean de Bebian Coteaux du Languedoc 1998: A moderately deep, glossy colour. Plenty of deep, earthy, slightly rustic fruit on the nose, with touches of garrigue scent. Full, with a touch of sweetness on the palate. Somewhat closed and certainly very backward at this stage in its evolution, packed with firm, muscular tannins. With time it reveals a little liquorice and black fruit but what this wine needs most is time - four to six years minimum. 17+/20 (February 2004)
