Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from the estate

94/100 James Suckling

Dark olives, fresh blackberries, dark plums and a touch of peppercorns on the nose. Intense and fleshy on the palate, with a medium to full body and firm, lightly chewy tannins. Excellent length in the fine-grained and tightly framed finish. Drink after 2027.
