Tasted in January 2022. 77% Merlot + 9% C. Franc + 11% C. Sauvignon + 2% Carmenere + 1% Malbec. Tight and intense dark berries, creamy on the palate with vigour and energy, splendid complexity and structure, superb midpalate and meaty finish. Glorious effort.

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Aromatic nose with distinct fruit, ripe blackberries and plums, elderberries and hints of forest berries, backed by a very elegant toasting, reminiscent of dark chocolate and hints of coffee. Vanilla and mild spices in the background. On the palate well structured with intense and sweet berry fruit, balmy spices, ripe and well defined tannins, a wine with freshness and complex character, gained in structure and expression since the primeurs. Excellent.
