Vibrant, Powerful & Elegant Saint-Estèphe | Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel
"Vibrant and very dark crimson with black core and purplish rim. Refined but intense aroma of pure black fruit, the fruit shining above the impression of oak, though the oak is definitely present. There's pure vibrant cassis as well as sweeter blackberry and mulberry. Powerful, deliciously dry in its tannic texture. Dark, savoury and with the stony character so typical of the appellation. Chalky-chewy tannins are in perfect harmony with the fruit. Incipient elegance and a fine dry aftertaste but in no way drying."-Jancis Robinson
Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot , Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
