“Located in Saint-Yzans-de-Médoc, this recently acquired estate has produced a 2010 vintage that is clearly superior to the 2009, with more fruit, precision, and natural character. The texture is silky, with a hint of firmness on the finish, but the wine is well-balanced and should age well. An estate to watch! ” (The 2013 Guide to Wine Bargains - Gerbelle & Maurange)

About the wine:

Located in Saint-Yzans-de-Médoc, this recently acquired estate has produced a 2010 vintage that is clearly superior to the 2009, offering more fruit, precision, and natural elegance. The texture is silky, with a hint of firmness on the finish, but the wine is well-balanced overall and should age beautifully. An estate to watch!

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on March 10, 2018

Tasted in 2018. Deep color, complex and rich nose with plenty of dark fruit; full-bodied on the palate but not heavy. It still has aging potential.
