Based on a carefully selected plot of Merlot and Petit Verdot, 2015 is the 1st vintage of this certified organic cuvée. This grand cuvée benefits from an exceptionally long ageing period, 60 months to refine. A wine of great balance, complete, racy, powerful and complex, to be decanted several hours before tasting or cellared for a few years.

This wine is really too powerful, without nuance or subtlety. Sorry, I don't like this wine and I don't think the price is justified.

This 2015 vintage looks very promising, with blackcurrant dominating for the moment.
