Vintage 2010 | This wine ticks all the boxes. Purple red with a brown rim, like Italian rooftiles. Cedar and tobacco in smell but surprisingly much red fruit for a wine of this age. Velvety structure. Fine example of right bank Noblesse. | paired with skirt steak

Located on a north-east slope, the 10.32 hectares grow on Fronsac molasse covering a layer of sand with a clay subsoil. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berries and floral notes. A blend of 90% Merlot & 10% Cab Franc, aged in 45% new oak. On the palate black cherry and strawberry flavors with notes of cacao, licorice and smoke. Fine grainy tannins, medium+ finish, ending with subtle oak character. Tasting Sample.

I shudder to think how glorious this will be in ten years. Marvelous.

Highly rated. Inviting nose.......I’m trying Ringo, I’m trying real hard. #unexciting would be the best way to put it.

Fresh and lively exhibiting ripe cherry, plum, truffle, and licorice. Medium bodied with soft tannins. This wine emphasizes freshness rather than concentration. 90/10 Merlot- Cab Franc. 2016 vintage on Oct 30, 2019
