Notes : Robert Parker 90, Decanter 3***, RVF 16/20, B&D 15/20, Guide Hachette 1*(very successful wine)
" A member of the "Expression de Fronsac" club, this estate is one of the appellation's flagships. The 2006 presents an elegant garnet-red color with a brilliant purple border. The expressive bouquet combines red fruit and delicate oak. On the palate, this is a powerful, ripe wine, with plenty of body, volume and persistent fruit. It will reveal its full potential in two to five years ". (Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)
