Tasting note: A blend of 56 % cabernet sauvignon, 38 % merlot, 4 % cabernet franc and 2 % petit verdot. The production is of 20 000 bottles for the Grand Vin, thus representing one third of the 9.5 hectares production of the estate. Alcohol level: 14,25° - Total acidity : 3,50 – pH : 3,59 – IPT (potential tannin level): 90 (which is high). Reading the analytical sheet, no one would believe that this wine is impossible not to swallow. As a reminder, this wine is made from handpicked and manually destemmed grapes, aged in 100% new oak barrel. A serious craftwork process delivered at a soft price. This is a must have of the vintage.

Best ever from here.(89-92pts. JS, Wine Spectator)

Tasting note: Attractive aromas of fruitcake, spice box, blackberries, and black cherries emerge from this blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Well-balanced and fresh with wonderful vivacity and elegance on the palate, it should drink well for 10 years. (89-91pts. RP, Wine Advocate)
