Only two parcels on the estate have resisted the Phylloxera pest. These 130-year-old vines produce a discreet wine with complex aromas of wild flowers, red fruit and noble spices. The elegance of this wine lies in the harmony between concentration, balance and length. A very fine cuvée to be decanted before serving.

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
Jancis Robinson
Wine rated (2015 guide ) 17/20
About the wine:
Pale ruby. Fragrant red fruit, delicately spicy, with mineral notes. The supple, almost racy palate is mischievous and long. Eye-catching tannins dominate the finish a little at the moment. Elegant and long.
