2019 vintage. Previous owner Alain Mouiex (also Château Fonroque) sold this tiny (less than 3 hectares) estate to the owners of Château Sansonnet, Cadet Soutard, Villemaurine and Harmonie in 2015, the Lefévère family. Tasting this excellent 2019, it seems that Marie-Bénédicte Lefévère is doing a great job here. Made from 100% Merlot, it is lush and restrained at the same time. Ripe, layered fruit, fresh acidity, and a distinctive minerality make the 14,5% alcohol go unnoticed. Excellent value too, highly recommended.

Balanced and smooth with a hint of tobacco and berries on top of the mild tannins. Drank it solo and it didn’t necessarily need food. Definitely a good vintage. Would love to compare it to a 2016 if given the opportunity.
