This Bordeaux reveals an expressive nose, with aromas of ripe red fruit, blackcurrant, tobacco and a slightly animal nuance. Full-bodied, supple and generous on the palate, with good substance and a heathery note on the finish, which is greedy and well-balanced. A truly fine Bordeaux!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2016 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
This cru de poupée by François Janoueix has two parcels located in the Beauregard and Cheval Blanc west sectors. The soil is composed of gravel and ancient sands, and the vines are in their fifties.
