Tasting notes
Vivid raspberry and cherry fruits, austere through mid palate but with good saline lift and juice on the finish. Coralie de Bouard owner of this consistently impressive estate.

Flowers, strawberry, and cherries form the character here in this, soft, forward, early-drinking, fresh, red cherry-filled wine. The wine blends 85% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Juicy and fruity with cherry and melted-chocolate aromas on a medium body with chewy tannins, a juicy, fruity center-palate and a flavorful finish.
The blend shows an intense purple-ruby colour, with a floral and spicy nose, including slight peppery notes. High-quality oak is evident, and the palate is tight, with fine-grained tannins. Nuances of red and black cherries and blueberries suggest good fruitiness and potential for ageing over the next decade.
