Description
Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 22%, Petit Verdot 10%, Cabernet Franc 3%
This is the first vintage vinified in the wonderful new winery. Big sacrifices were necessary in the vineyard and on the sorting table; the yield is just 19 hl/ha. But these decisions are vindicated by this splendid wine, which is simultaneously imposing and discreet. Its density comes from the additional Petit Verdot, picking up some of the slack from the lighter Merlot. Gabriel Vialard describes this as “chic” – modern and stylish. Tobacco, lemongrass and liquorice are all in evidence; the finish is graceful and harmonious. This is very fine. Drink 2027-2045.
Our score: 18/20
