Owner's words
An unclassifiable vintage, 2023 follows on brilliantly from the dazzling 2022, which set the benchmarks quite high across the board while playing on a different and unexpected register. 2023 has excellent concentration and fresh ripeness. The wine combines hedonistic enjoyment, delicacy, softness and precision with a juiciness contained within its body. This is a vintage displaying balance and harmony, the aromatic expression of which, with its energetic black fruit, is cloaked in undeniable elegance. It finds its place, after 2019, 2020 and 2022, among the family of recent great Bordeaux vintages.
