87% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from the first-class clay, pebble soil of Pomerol’s plateau. Deep ruby colour, intense, fresh and layered nose of black and red berry fruit, leatheriness, chocolate and violet. A medium-bodied, meaty and thick palate, yet with taut structure, lots of ripe fruit also on the palate, some vanilla and sweet spices on the finish. (50% aged in new oak barrels.)
