Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, this Saint-Estèphe from a gravel and clay terroir is a full-bodied, robust, but not aggressive red. It is full-bodied and powerful on the palate, well-balanced by its fat structure. A lovely all-rounder, it goes equally well with red meats and mature cheeses, for example...
