Haut-Médoc

The château, bordering St-Estephe is located on clayey chalk and stony subsoil.

Size of estate : 22 hectares vineyard. Blend of Grape varieties: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot. The average age of the vines is 40 years.

Harvesting is late to ensure full maturity, perfectly ripe and careful selection of the grapes on arrival at the hopper. Traditional vinification, the must being frequently run-off and recycled to ensure an even temperature during fermentation.

The wine is then aged in oak-casks (30-40% new each year), for around 15 months. Regularly racked and natural fined without filtration, it is bottled and stored in the underground cellar in ideal temperature and hydrometric conditions.

All in charm. Fine bright ruby colour.

Fruity nose, gingerbread.

Good attack, ample and round mid-palate, silky and persistent tannins.

A balanced wine with an obvious aging potential but very pleasant today depiste its very young age.

Bright garnet color, purple reflections.  Nose dominated by an elegant toasted oak, discreet fruity background. On the palate, the fruit and spices are more present in a full-bodied, ample, traditional context.

7000 cases, or 90 000 bottles.
