With vines close to Pauillac, the estate offers an unusual blend with 50% Petit Verdot. Great butts and intense black fruits as well as an almost black color are the result. The wine is solid, structured and likely to need time to be ready to drink. Keep until 2021.

This wine has some richness, with ripe black currants and balanced acidity. The wood-aging just shows but, again, is balanced. With its fresh fruitiness, the wine will age quickly, so drink from 2017.

A strongly wood-aged wine, full of as much spice and toast as fruit. It will probably soften and round out to give a wine that, while firm, will have rich black currant fruitiness, dusty tannins and fresh acidity at the end. Drink from 2017.
