Notes : Bettane & Desseauve 15/20, Guide Hachette 1*(Very successful wine), Wine Spectator 89/100, Robert Parker 88/100
This is a typical Fronsac, developing powerful aromas of flowers, truffles and undergrowth. Full-bodied and fleshy, with silky tannins and mellow oak, it's a classic of the appellation. A must-have!
