Round, smooth and supple!
Silver medal Concours Mondial Bruxelles 2007, Selected Guide Hachette 2008Great determination and the awareness of being in the presence of a prodigious terroir drove Jacques Chardat to take this vineyard by the horns and make wines full of seduction and grandeur. The old vines that give birth to this Trois Moulins red 2005 express the uniqueness of the appellation and the richness of the site: south-facing hillsides on well-drained slopes. This is a powerful vintage, dominated by small red stone fruits and fine woody notes. A medal-winner not to be missed!
