Notes presse & récompenses
High ripeness, darker fruit, glossy new oak, toast and espresso. Dense and concentrated palate, ripe dark blackberry and cassis notes with floral hints, fine oak integration, grainy tannin and a long succulent finish, already finely assembled and harmonious in a lush style.
Que d’intensité et d’authenticité dans ce bouquet ! Il est marqué par le calcaire, le côté crayeux ; le terroir s’exprime avec précision, pertinence. Outre la minéralité, le fruit est parfaitement représenté au travers de notes de cerises et de myrtilles. Invitante fraîcheur au travers de nuances de menthe poivrée. En bouche le vin est juteux et friand. Il est doté de tannins précis, racés et bien intégrés. Rafraîchissante tension et bonne expression fruitée jusqu’en fin de bouche. Finale persistante.
A solid, well crafted red with blueberry and crushed-stone character. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish. Nice texture for the appellation.
INFOS
Presentation
Vinified for 4 generations, from great-grandfather to great-grandson, this wine is the very essence of our estate. Luscious, fruity and powerful, it can be adapted to any occasion. A wine for every table...
The vintage
The 2020 vintage follows in the footsteps of the great Bordeaux vintages. After a mild winter and an unsettled spring, the summer with its warm days and cool nights offered the ideal climate for optimal berry development and ripening, resulting in a remarkable harvest. The profile of this vintage is less powerful than 2019, which had riper notes, but has more silkiness, finesse, delicacy and exceptional color, while being superbly structured and balanced, offering it additional years of cellaring... An exceptional vintage.
