Wine Enthusiast 90
A half-and-half blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a ripe, black-currant-flavored and smoothly textured wine. Light smokiness from wood aging brings complexity. Acidity comes through freshly and strongly at the end. Drink from 2022.

Technical Details
Ageing
Barrels 100% (33% new barrels), during 6 months.
Background
The property benefits from one side of the Atlantic Ocean influences,
the other of the presence of the Gironde estuary, providing
favorable weather conditions for the development of grape varieties
and a maturity of grapes. The vineyard grows on gravel mounds
worthy of the best soils of the Medoc. Composed of 50% Cabernet
Sauvignon and 50% Merlot, the vineyard flourish hillocks on some of
the best terroirs in the Medoc. Today the Chateau estate is
composed of 90 hectares in the AOC Medoc region grouped around
and about the domain, of which 53 hectares are planted with vines
producing wine at the moment.
Food pairing
Grilled rack of lam, red meat, ceps in parsley, grilled duck breast and
strong cheeses
Harvest
With manual and mechanical noting by parcel.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby-red. The nose opens up to blackberry and redcurrant
notes with pepper. The palate is structured by tannin presence
which still leaves decent room for the fruit. The finish is spicy in this
grippy wine.
