Tasting Notes
The purity of fruit is so attractive with violets, fresh raspberries and crushed-stone powder. Medium-bodied and very transparent. The verve and energy are just right. Crisp, elegant and fine.

Flowers, dark pit fruits, chocolate, boysenberries, and licorice create a captivating aromatic profile and delightful palate experience. Supple, creamy, fresh, and fruity, the wine reveals its minerality-driven essence with ease. The fruits provide lift and energy from start to finish, making everything work beautifully this year. The wine is produced from 100% old-vine Merlot. Harvesting took place September 24 - October 10.
Much sweeter – but very naturally so – and much more ample than Faugeres. Creamy and a little oakier with a hint of toasted brioche alongside the dark cherry and bramble fruit. Cassis and black currant with aeration. A little oyster shell and iodine. The tannins are so incredibly soft, an impression reinforced by the relatively narrow frame. This is cool and dense and compact at the heart of its crystalline core. It’s like a crystal clear well at night with the moonlight illuminating the clear reflective surface. Juicy and fresh and sapid and rippling on the finish.
