When to drink: 2020 to 2034
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2021
Ruby. Cassis, blackberries and anise, some vanilla and spices. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, dark fruits, anise, blackberries and spices, long finish. Remember this as thinner during primeur.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2019
This shows lots of white pepper, chalk and crushed berries. Medium to full body, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. 60% of the crop lost due to frost. Delicious now, but better after 2021.

Ungewohnt saftig, knackig, sehr frisch und lecker, ausgezeichnet für das Jahr.
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2018
Medium bodied with a sweet, smoky, black cherry character, the wine is forward, soft and earthy and will definitely drink well for at least a decade.

2017 Vintage
Aromatique déjà expressive où se côtoient les fruits jaunes, la pêche et l'abricot frais. Les 40 % de sémillon marquent structurellement le vin au niveau de l'ampleur.
