A wine that is both powerful and balanced, perfectly reflecting the expertise of this Grand Cru Classé.

Tasting
The intense ruby-red color reveals purple highlights. The nose unfolds aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), combined with notes of licorice, cocoa, leather, and sweet spices. On the palate, the body is dense, with firm but well-integrated tannins, supported by a mineral freshness and beautiful fullness. The long and persistent finish illustrates the perfect balance between power and finesse, promising excellent aging potential.
