2017 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2020

With its perfumed Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot, this wine is packed with fruit and tannins. It is rich although the fruitiness is most apparent, a juicy wine that hides its structure in the cushioning fruits. Drink from 2024. Roger Voss

About Wine Enthusiast

94 / 100 Falstaff

2017 Vintage Tasted: May 2018

Deep dark ruby with purple reflections and a fine bright rim. The nose is of smoky-spicy nuances with blackberries, sweet black cherry and just a hint of orange zest. Black fruit on the medium-bodied palate, with gentle, fine ripe tannins and a mineral, taut, saline finish making for a delicious wine that lingers long in the mouth.

About Falstaff

98 / 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

2017 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2018

Dark ruby with purple accents on the rim, the wine is luxuriant, full bodied, lusciously textured, sensuous and with all that going on, this is also quite refined. The mineral driven, sweet dark red fruits offer an impressive sense of purity. There is persistency and vibrancy on the palate. Made from a blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot, the wine reached 14% ABV with a pH of 3.5 and represents 80% of the crop. The harvest took place from September 23 to September 29.

18.5 / 20 Bettane et Desseauve

2017 Vintage

Étonnamment ouvert, classicisme et pureté absolue. Les strates aromatiques évoluent en permanence entre cassis, réglisse, épices, fruits rouges et craie. La finale décline l'infini tannique.
