Bright, chalky, soft brambly fruits, good quality with a gentle unroll through the palate. Enjoyable, softly spoken. 22 hl/ha
The 2024 La Cabanne has a simple bouquet with slightly smudged red berry fruit mixed with kirsch and light mushroom-y scents. The palate is medium-bodied with somewhat dry tannins, gaining balance toward the finish that does not quite deliver the nuance of the best vintages in recent years.
Chocolate, coconut, plums, and cherries fill the perfume, and the bright, crisp palate. Medium-bodied, vibrant, and lifted, the wine is elegant and refined. The wine is produced from 94% Merlot, with 6% Cabernet Franc.
About the producer
Owned by the Estager family, this property sits between Trotanoy and Clinet on the Pomerol plateau. The heavy clay subsoils produce powerful wines that can need time to open up.
