the wine

This is classic Right Bank claret, plush and welcoming rather than stern, the sort of red that converts people who assume the style is all firm tannin. We chose it for a supple texture that drinks well right now, no decade of patience required. Pour it with a Sunday roast, steak frites, or a board of aged cheese.

tasting notes
A pleasant aromatic nose with mushroom and clove nuances. Blackberry with a seamless texture and good balance. Mineral notes with ripe tannins. Aged 12 months in French oak.
