Tasting notes
With a dark red colour, this wine is complex on the nose with aromas of black fruits and well-integrated oaky notes. The attack is clean on the palate and the wine shows a dense and supple structure. The fresh finish is long and persistent.
Climatic conditions
The 2012 growing season was marked by rather severe weather conditions. The rainy, cold spring was followed by a dry summer, which slowed the
vegetative cycle of the vine. We waited until the first weeks of October to start the harvest. 2012 remains in the memory as an atypical,
complicated year where human choices were more important than ever.
Terroir
Garonne gravels and silica, typical of Pauillac, for the Cabernet Sauvignon, and sandy gravels for the Merlot.
