2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"The fruit of cellar work (long vatting, micro-oxygenation) aimed at thorough extraction, this beautifully dark purple wine is intense from the moment of olfaction, with a strong presence of red and black fruits (raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry) on a discreet woody background. A full, compact attack, carried by firm, tight tannins, is followed by a softer, more supple mid-palate, the signature of a Merlot that has reached great maturity". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)
