AWARDED 91/100 POINTS: James Suckling

"The 2018 sports a saturated purple color as well as a ripe, powerful bouquet of black cherries, melted licorice, and asphalt. Ripe and sexy, it offers tons of fruit, moderate acidity, and a great finish" Jeb Dunnuck

"Very ripe and rich with lightly jammy character to the black and red fruit. It’s full and layered. Round tannins. Juicy finish" James Suckling

Situated on the right bank of the Gironde, just north of the city of Bordeaux, this Chateau benefits from an exceptional terroir of well-drained gravel, sand and clay. The winemaker uses all of his skill during the vinification process to produce a wine which reflects the heritage of Bordeaux, but which is thoroughly modern in style. Yields in the vineyard are limited to enhance fruit concentration and the wine is matured in oak barrels to add suppleness to the palate texture.
