Plummy color tinged with tan, nose of woodsy mushroom, brown bread turned earth. Strong entry of cherry bursting through earth and cedar root. Chewy tannins show this very much alive and brimming with secret power! So good, so nice!

Approachable and bright. Light fruit notes with polish. — 22 days ago
2022 vintage ( sorry for the blurry photo). Grand Cru Classé since the 2012 classification. Contrary to common belief ( as this estate started out as a garage wine), this is not a blockbuster. Beautifully balanced, concentrated, intense, but also very fresh and mineral,with a wonderful purity of fruit. A fantastic wine that will need a few years to shine completely. This estate has a unique soil composition and very old vines: 2 hectares with 100 years old Merlot and 80 years old Cabernet Franc vines. Also tasted the 2014 ( score 9.5) and the 2023 and 2024 from the barrel. Good to know that the 2024 is outstanding here! — 2 months ago

Excellent, balanced, quite a lot of alcohol and tannin (some sediment in neck of the bottle) — a year ago

Star of the night. Showed powerfully from the start. Nice level jump with great length oodles of complexity. Light honey and underlying sweetness. Can only imagine what this will be in 10 years. — 22 days ago
