In the mouth
On the palate, flavours of cassis and plum emerge alongside subtle spice. The finish is complex and elegant, with fine-grained tannins and a persistence that speaks to the wine's breeding and potential for cellaring.
On the nose
The bouquet presents dark fruits—cassis and blackcurrant—alongside delicate floral notes. These aromas develop with aeration, revealing the wine's layered composition and careful élevage.
On the eye
Deep purple, with the density and hue characteristic of a serious Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.
Breeding
Ageing in barrels, depending on the vintage, 70% to 100% new oak, for 18 to 32 months
