Description

A wine of rare composure and generosity. The nose opens with crushed blackcurrant, dark plum and a signature lift of pencil shaving and warm graphite, underpinned by a whisper of tobacco leaf and dried violet. On the palate, the blend's unusually high Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon content gives real structural elegance, the tannins fine-grained and precise without severity. Merlot rounds the mid-palate with ripe fig and a hint of dark chocolate. The finish is long, mineral and assured. A landmark vintage for an estate newly elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" in 2022.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
