Description
Merlot 69%, Cabernet Franc 30%, Cabernet Sauvignon 1%.
Much Merlot was lost to mildew; the excellent Cabernet Franc has been boosted to 30%. Equally important, indicating the estate’s direction under Juliette Couderc, is the ageing in 15% amphorae and the reduced percentage of new oak. This all creates a more polished wine with a silkier texture and greater sensuality than those accustomed to older vintages might expect. But it’s not just gloss: at its heart are the estate’s signatures of spicy plum, ground coffee and woodsmoke. What is so attractive about this “lighter” vintage is the poise and gourmand character it adds.
