Award: Silver Medal Concours Grands Vins de France Mâcon 2013
This very fine cuvée reveals notes of red fruit (Morello cherry, blackcurrant) and cedar on the nose, which are harmoniously distinguished after swirling. A red wine with great tension on the palate, an assertive tannic structure and a long, fruit-filled structure, well served by controlled ageing.
