Our eleventh vintage from this amazing right bank vineyard. The vintage saw early bud break, a wet spring and a long, warm and dry summer. 2015 and 2016 are the best back to back vintages since 2009 and 2010.
The wine has a very inviting nose of white chocolate, mixed berries, tobacco and earthy notes. It shows great energy all the while being very seductive and elegant. There is a beautiful length to the wine and both varietals clearly present themselves throughout - Cabernet franc giving the wine its shoulders, Merlot its middle and Franc again in the finish with its refined tannins. A very classic Bordeaux worthy of long cellaring. Decanting suggested.
