Words of Sommeliers

Clear, bright and youthful with a deep dark ruby core and a purple reflection.

Very open, fragrant and perfumed nose, showing plethora of ripe, fresh dark berries of cassis, plums and cherries, scents of violets, sweet spice and crushed black pepper, very fine oak on the background with cedar and roasted coffee bean notes, a slight and cool herbal touch of verbena and cassis leaf, still very youthful dominated by fresh primary aromas!
Clean and dry with a generous structure supported by elevated but fine-grained and compact tannin, the mid-palate is showing great density and concentration of flavours with a soft, refreshing acidity, plenty of fresh, ripe and crunchy dark fruit like cassis, blueberry and dark plums complemented by fresh notes of aromatic herbs and touch of black pepper. Very fine and well-integrated oak notes, still well-balanced for a young wine, good persistence with a very clean and fresh finish! A very good example of a classic Saint-Émilion and, despite its youth, the wine shows a good drinkability for those who appreciate the freshness of primary flavours but will gain complexity and develop through the next 8+ years. Enjoy with a grilled saddle of venison seasoned with black pepper and juniper, served with glazed root vegetables and a dense red wine sauce. “
