Purple colour, aromatic bouquet of black and red fruit (blackcurrant, cherry, blackberry and mulberry as well as bilberry and blueberry) with tones of spice and undergrowth. A subtle nose. On the palate fine tannins appear, which are both elegant and silky.
Could be kept for between 15 and 30 years.
This is really fantastic in 2016 with beautiful balance and depth of fruit. Focused and tight palate. Full-bodied and super long. Wonderful.
95-96 pts - JSuckling, April 2017
A very impressive wine for a chateau that’s not so well known. Deep and rich with a ton of elderberry and bitter-chocolate aromas, but still dry and very straight, thanks to the beautiful, fine-grained and lively acidity. A blend of 71 per cent merlot, 16 per cent cabernet franc, nine per cent cabernet sauvignon, two per cent carmenere and two per cent malbec.
