“Solid as a rock, with charcoal-like character, ample notes of plum, blackberry, and anise, underpinned by hints of tobacco and tar, and a well-integrated finish; it will age well. Drink through 2025.” (Wine Spectator). A true discovery: this full-bodied Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. • Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine shipped within France

Rated estate (2016 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

This “Poupée” vintage from François Janoueix comes from two plots located in the Beauregard area and west of Cheval Blanc. The soil consists of gravel and ancient sand, and the vines are in their radiant fifties.
