The Galineau family cultivates their vineyards using sustainable farming practices. The result is this generic Bordeaux, which combines body and fruit, produced through expertly managed winemaking and aging (12 months in oak barrels). A wine that is best enjoyed young, already pleasant but with the potential to age for 5 years. A serious Bordeaux that is certainly worth a few Médocs!
