Note du Guide Hachette des Vins: 2**(Remarkable wine) + Coup de Coeur
"A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (40%), this wine has everything to please: a dense, almost black color; a very rich aromatic palette, where we first breathe in fresh black fruit (blueberry), then candied, accompanied by a spicy, woody aroma. On the palate, the wine is round and full-bodied, without any heaviness, with aromas of ripe grapes. Elegant tannins complete the picture of a remarkably well-balanced bottle, which can be served young, by decanting, or enjoyed over 15 years. We can imagine it with roast pheasant". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

About the wine:

If Véronique Gaboriaud-Bernard always makes good wines, this 2009 was one of them. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (40%), it has everything to please: a dense, almost black color; a very rich aromatic palette, where we first breathe in fresh black fruit (blueberry), then candied, accompanied by a spicy, woody aroma. On the palate, the wine is round and full-bodied, without any heaviness, with aromas of ripe grapes. Elegant tannins complete the picture of a remarkably well-balanced bottle, which can be served young, by decanting, or enjoyed over 15 years. Imagine it with roast pheasant.
