WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Harvesting carried out in September: for the first time! Extraordinary richness and only one word to sum up the colour: perfect. The same could also be said of the bouquet which is as elegant as it is complex, and of the palate, a model of balance and finesse; this is true art. The palate, still dominated by powerful tannins, offers good volume and length. The finish shows the freshness reminiscent of the best vintages of this cru.

  • International Wine Cellar
    Red-ruby. Cool aromas of dark berries, camphor, licorice and mint. Juicy and on the lean side, with some sweet berry flavors but modest flesh and depth. Conveys a slight overripe/underripe quality and finishes with slightly drying tannins, but still a solid early showing for this chateau.
  • Decanter
    Rating: 3/5 - As reviewed by Decanter. (5th growth) Sweet, ripe fruit. Plump, smooth and opulent. Good density and complexity. Drink 2014-24.
