The Story

After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels (made of split oak staves form the forests of Central France) 50% to 70% of the barrels are new and 50% to 30% are one-year old.

Air slowly penetrates through the pores in the wood and gently oxidizes the wine. The oak contributes to the elegance of its tannins. At the same time, the restricted volume of the barrel facilitates the precipitation of the lees over t...

Vintage 2015

Full report of Bordeaux 2015 by Andrew Caillard MW “Next in line in a great series of vintages; 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2015.

Written Notes

The sample was a bit sleeping and subtle. Quite integrated red and black fruit, medium bodied with quite ripe tannin. A long live wine that needs time to open up. 92-94

  • 93p

Tasted in April and October 2015, similar TNs. Potent wine with strong backbone, well-packed with perfectly ripe fruit and tannin, well-balanced, silky with great acidity and length. Excellent effort. Best vintage imho in tthe last 30 years.

  • 95p
Dark purple red with violet hue and almost black core. Dark berry fruit and hints of roasting aroma, dark chocolate and discreet spiciness. On the palate well structured with ripe tannins, fine acidity, good length, full-bodied character but still on the elegant side.
  • 95p
Deep colour. Intense liquorice, dark berry, cassis aromas with mocha oak notes. Rich and buoyant, almost creamy in texture with rich dark fruits, supple sweet tannins and inky length. Impressive wine. 94 points
