Tasting notes

Deep ruby colour still displaying purple tinges, this lovely Saint-Estèphe shows, after aeration, notes of black berries, liquorice, bread and sweet spices. The palate reveals structure, fruit, freshness and perfect balance.

Climatic conditions

Flowering of merlot was somewhat handicapped by cool, humid weather in June, which considerably reduced the yields from this variety. Otherwise 2010 fulfilled all the conditions for a great vintage, allowing to produce perfectly ripe grapes for every plot.

Winemaking

Following hand-picking and selection of the grapes on the vines, they are de-stalked and carefully sorted once more. Fermentation is carried out in temperature controlled stainless-steel or concrete tanks. After blending, the wine is aged 16 months in French oak barrels, 10% to 15% of which are new.
