Owner's words
Dark red colour with a crimson tint. Aromatic notes of red fruits, such as strawberry or raspberry. The attack is supple and fleshy. With 67% of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, the tannic structure is powerful yet elegant. The harmony that reigns throughout promises a large drinking window. The balance and harmony of the 2021 vintage reminds us somewhat of the wines produced in the 2000s, with a higher quality in the tannic framework and the aromatic precision. Like a window open onto the past, the 2021 will be our neoretro vintage par excellence !
