Notes presse & récompenses
Andreas Larsson
93/100
Medium towards deep ruby red colour. Fine purity on the nose, sweet red fruit, mild oak and floral notes. Fluid palate with good volume, a rather burgundian texture with elegant red fruit, mild sice, well integrated oak and silky tannin, long and lingering finish.

92-93/100
A solid, well crafted red with blueberry and crushed-stone character. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish. Nice texture for the appellation.
Yves Beck - Beckustator
92-93/100
What intensity and authenticity in this bouquet! It is marked by limestone and chalkiness; the terroir expresses itself with precision and relevance. In addition to the minerality, the fruit is perfectly represented through notes of cherry and blueberry. Inviting freshness through nuances of peppermint. On the palate, the wine is juicy and delicious. The tannins are precise, racy and well integrated. Refreshing tension and good expression of fruit through to the finish. Lingering finish.
INFOS
Presentation
Vinified for 4 generations, from great-grandfather to great-grandson, this wine is the very essence of our estate. Luscious, fruity and powerful, it can be adapted to any occasion. A wine for every table...
The vintage
The 2020 vintage follows in the footsteps of the great Bordeaux vintages. After a mild winter and an unsettled spring, the summer with its warm days and cool nights offered the ideal climate for optimal berry development and ripening, resulting in a remarkable harvest. The profile of this vintage is less powerful than 2019, which had riper notes, but has more silkiness, finesse, delicacy and exceptional color, while being superbly structured and balanced, offering it additional years of cellaring... An exceptional vintage.
