Vinified by Stéphane Derenoncourt, this Saint-Emilion Grand Cru exalts finely toasted scents of coffee and mocha. On aeration, notes of black fruit tart appear, followed by frank flavors of burla cherry. The palate is powerful and broad, with aromatic nuances suggested by the nose: forest fruits, blueberries... The tannins are fine, and the aromas open out on finely spiced notes. The high proportion of Merlot (95%) brings roundness, suppleness and a silkiness that will make a perfect match with the famous Bordeaux-style ceps!
