In the mouth
The palate confirms what the nose suggests: a wine of substance and balance. Merlot provides the rounded core; Cabernet adds structure and definition. Tannins are present but refined, with a clean, persistent finish
On the nose
Inviting aromatics of red and black fruits—redcurrant and blackcurrant predominate—with subtle earthy undertones characteristic of the Right Bank terroir
On the eye
Deep ruby-red robe with good intensity and clarity
Breeding
Cold maceration to extract perfumes and aromas. Fermentation 2 to 3 weeks. Temperature control
This is a wine of genuine versatility. Serve it with charcuterie and pâtés, roasted poultry, beef and lamb, or grilled meats. It pairs equally well with mature cheeses. Decant thirty minutes before service to allow the wine to open fully. Drink now through 2027.

VIGNOBLES DENIS LAFON
Established on the clay-limestone hillsides of Cars in the Gironde, Vignobles Denis Lafon farm 43 hectares under the Bordeaux appellation, certified organic from the 2020 vintage. Founded by Denis Lafon in 1967 — with roots in the Blayais traceable to the 18th century — the estate gained fresh momentum in 2014 when his nephew Stéphane Dejoué joined him, driving both its expansion and full conversion to organic farming. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the integrity of its organic commitment, the breadth of its encépagement — Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Sémillon, Sauvignon — and the honest expression of its red, white, and rosé wines. A family Bordeaux address well worth following.
