Bordeaux Red, 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec. Certified organic, cold maceration prior to slow fermentation, aged in one year old French oak barrels.

Considered one of the finest recent Bordeaux vintages. A hot, dry and sunny summer met vines in excellent health, giving a generous and seductive wine of red and black fruit, full and ample on the palate yet never heavy, lifted by the Cabernet Franc. James Suckling 90/100: currants, vanilla and pine cones, fruity, fragrant and youthful with crunchy tannins. Drinking well from 2026 with strong ageing potential.
