Description
This underrated estate, located next to two First Growths, Mouton and Lafite, is lovely and forward, and very easy to appreciate. With sweet lush fruit, the wine is fine, rich and shows a lovely texture.
It bursts with cassis, blackcurrants and a brooding intensity. After several years in barrel, it should age gracefully and develop the fruit, which appears with some complexity. Hints of minerality shine through on the finish. It will be a real treat to enjoy in several years’ time.
Blend: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Carménère

Pauillac
The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
