This blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 11% Petit Verdot, with Michel Rolland as the consultant, displays a deep ruby/purple color and possesses straightforward notes of black and red currants intermixed with cedar wood, roasted herbs and underbrush. It is a medium-bodied, silky-textured wine to drink over the next 10-15 years. In a sense, this used to be the second wine of Leoville Poyferre, but like Clos de Marquis and La Croix de Beaucaillou, it is now a separate wine from a completely distinct vineyard owned by Leoville Poyferre.
