"Contrasting with the intensity of the color, still young with its purplish highlights, the bouquet is rather discreet, but presents a good balance between red fruit and wood (spices). Supple on the attack, the tannic presence promises good evolution over time". (Guide Hachette des Vins - 2020 Edition)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (2018 guide) Selected (Selected)
About the wine:
Subtly fruity and mineral, the nose is precise, the palate tender, fleshy, highly aromatic and lively. Easy to drink and well-balanced.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
Contrasting with the intensity of the color, still young with its purplish highlights, the bouquet is rather discreet, but presents a good balance between red fruit and wood (spices). Supple on the palate, its tannic presence promises good evolution over time.
James Suckling
Rated wine (2019 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
Attractive ripe dark berries with rich, toasty spices lead to a very fleshy, succulent palate that carries a long, smooth, supple array of bright, robust tannins. Long and mellow.
Yves Beck
Rated wine (2018 guide) 88/100
About the wine:
Garnet red. Bouquet of good intensity, pleasant freshness. Smoky, fruity notes. Balanced character on the palate. Juicy, fruity, with a lively, refreshing structure. The tannins remain in the background but are assured. A promising wine that needs to gain in suppleness. Fruity finish.

Very good staying power for the 2017. Red fruit and slightly smoky. Keep in your cellar.
