Fragrant and supple in texture, exuding wild strawberry, cherry, rose, sandalwood and cardamom aromas and flavors. Elegant in feel, with ample tannins for support and a vibrant, extensive aftertaste. Harmonious and charming, yet the length of the finish is what defines its pedigree. Best from 2027 through 2045. 427 cases imported.

(92-94 points) Completely destemmed because rather too much rot. Attractive mid crimson purple. There is a fair intensity of fruit without too much detail. Quite full red fruit with a vanilla edge, a little bit drier behind, a touch of orange zest. Sound more than vibrant, but may have more development to come. Drink from 2028-2035.

The dark ruby hue and fragrant plummy fruit with spice and leather notes are a suitable prelude to the density and firm tannins you will find on the palate. The muscular structure leads to a satisfyingly long finish. The grapes come from a hectare along the road to the Château (in Montiottes Hautes) and a half hectare at the bottom of the Clos (in Baudes St-Martin), picked four days apart and assembled after vinification.
