In a few words ...

This cuvée is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged for 12 months in barrels. A wine with an ageing profile, whose peak can be enjoyed after 5 to 10 years' cellaring.

Le Figaro Vin

"A Haut-Médoc whose elegance and finesse allow it to be drunk young. Dense, rich and endowed with fine tannins, it is also cut out for long cellaring."

Tasting notes

Appearance

Typical of a young wine, its color is very dark, with purplish highlights.

The nose reveals an elegant bouquet with freshness and black fruit aromas.
