Description
Very dark color, tending to deep purple thanks to the high Petit Verdot content. There is a very floral nose of sage and violet accompanied by spicy notes of cocoa and licorice. Good impression of sweetness on the attack followed by good, tight tannins which provide nice flesh on the mid palate. The finish, still with tight tannins, only requires a few years to soften. A wine with staying power.
Blend: 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 57% Merlot, 12% de Petit Verdot

Wine Enthusiast
Under the same ownership as neighboring Larose-Trintaudon, this 86-acre estate is smaller. From close to Pauillac’s vineyards, this blend holds a preponderance of Cabernet Sauvignon. Lightly smoky and richly endowed, the wood-aged wine has spice, ripe tannins and good potential. Drink from 2023.

Plums and blue fruit with salt-block and chalk undertones. Medium body. Creamy tannins. Savory and fruity finish.
