Tasting notes
Fairly subdued right now, this has broad shoulders and some touches of reduction on the nose. Good quality, great texture really feels deep and rich, with bitter black chocolate streaking through the black cherry compote. Reserved though, these are big tannins. Eric Boissenot consultant. Harvest September 12 to 20. A yield of 38hl/ha.

The 2020 de la Huste has a deep purple-black color, bursting from the glass with flamboyant notes of crushed blackberries, blueberry pie and ripe black raspberries, plus suggestions of violets, mocha and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of juicy black and blue fruits, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and impressive freshness, finishing long and perfumed. A beautiful powerhouse!
Beautiful Fronsac with structure, polish and some class, offering blackberry, blueberry and violet aromas and flavors. 95% merlot and 5% cabernet franc.
