Wine information
This Cru Bourgeois property has well-placed vineyards right at the northern end of the Médoc, just north of Saint-Estephe, on deep gravel and clay-limestone soils. Being on the Left Bank, this estate naturally specialises in the classic Bordeaux varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In this wine, the grapes blend perfectly giving a powerful, refined nose that creates a marriage of red-berried fruit with elegant oak and hints of cedar and spice. The palate displays a plump mouthfeel revealing a balanced structure and notable length.
Robin says "A great value wine, this savoury and appealing red Bordeaux generously ticks the "delicious Claret" box. I love the balance of fruit sweetness with earthy tones. Now that it has been cellared for a few years, it is really at its pinnacle and ready to enjoy now."
