Gault & Millau

With its intense, limpid, brilliant ruby color, this lovely Haut-Médoc expresses intense aromas of black and red fruits on the nose. Full-bodied, generous and well-structured on the palate, this red leaves a deep aromatic persistence on the finish. A choice second wine, without a doubt!

Expert opinion

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (Very good)

About the wine:

The lightness expected of second wines. Pretty red fruits, suppleness and accessibility are the real strengths of the first wine's big sister. We're delighted by its pleasant velvety texture.
