Owner's words
The very Pauillac nose of cedar, graphite and blackcurrant is mixed with bewitching notes of morello cherry, peony and violet. The palate is complex, with fruity nuances of blackberry and morello cherry, the sweetness of praline and the delicious bitterness of cocoa beans. The tannic structure is very marked, a sign of very precise extraction. These well-coated tannins give this wine a sumptuous body, with a savoury and dynamic finish that characterises the Cru.
