Appellation / Saint Émilion Grand Cru

Grape | 100% Merlot

Ageing | 24 months in casks, stainless steel vats and barrels.

Tasting Notes | With a deep ruby color, the nose develops a very intense fruitiness, on aromas of black fruits (morello cherries and blueberries) but also notes of slightly peppery and smoky raspberry coulis. 
Its palate is savory and juicy, with a dense structure but melted tannins.
A pure expression of Merlot, tasty and complex.

Pairing | Lamb. Grilled or roasted. 

Drinking | Best from 2024 - 2030. Fine to drink now, with an hour to two of time to air. 

Critic Notes / Awards | - 92-92/100 James Suckling.

lands.
