Scores + Notes
Inky black cherry colour. Ripe and intense and rich on the nose. Lots of sweet fruit but very fresh too and so rounded. Deep fruit pie. Structured and still so smooth. Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com
Jancis Robinson MW Score: 16/20
Licorice, chocolate and earthy scents with black raspberry, this wine is open and soft on the palate, finishing with jammy black cherry. This Fronsac estate is consulted by Denis Dubourdieu.theWineCellarInsider.com
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider Score: 87-89/100
Leaner weight this year but pleasant fruit and a touch of aromatic complexity. Fine tannic frame. Drink 2015-2022. Decanter.com
Decanter Score: 15.5/20
This large estate, one of the most beautiful properties in Fronsac, produces a wine made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Delicious berry fruit, good spice and chalky minerality emerge from this medium-bodied, attractive, fleshy 2011. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years. Apr 2014, www.robertparker.com
Robert Parker Score: 86/100
