Blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby color with aromas of black berry fruits and earthy spice notes.

Oct 28th, 2025My first 2024 "primeur" tasting. The vintage was already much maligned during the harvest, but if this is an indication, we might be in for some seriously good surprises.

La Cabanne has great terroir, on the plateau with the famous blue clay. Stylstically, it's more about finesse than power ( more La Conseillante than L'Evangile if you want to compare with the bigger boys). Wonderful perfume with red fruits and flowers, and a delicate kiss of oak. Impeccable balance, refined, complex and long. Had a beautiful vertical at the estate and I believe the 2022 might be the best ever. Great value too.

2009. Really good. Black olive, dark fruits, leather, cocoa, slight green character and great acidity. 2-hour decant. Drinking great right now.

The 2016 La Cabanne is deep in color with barely any sign of aging. The bouquet is splendid with precocious black cherry and raspberry fruit, black truffle and leather touches. This blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Plenty of black, slightly tarry fruit gives weight and depth to this La Cabanne. It's well delineated with a good grip on the finish that is just beginning to develop a touch of gaminess. Excellent. (Neal Martin, Vinous, January 2023)
