First and foremost there is the pronounced florality on the nose: spring flowers, mint, plus smoke, tobacco and lots of red fruit. Raspberries, cherries, plums and cassis on the palate. Beguiling, sophisticated and a bit exotic. Very balanced balance between fruit intensity and body, between close-meshed tannins and alcohol: a lot of elegance and fullness at the same time. Slightly higher proportion of Merlot than usual: 55% Merlot compared to 30% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon in the 2020 vintage. The 2019, which unfortunately quickly sold out, was one of the top wines in Saint-Émilion. Many well-known wine critics even gave the following vintage a tad better ratings.
