Jancis Robinson

Only two plots on the estate survived the phylloxera epidemic. These vines, which are over 130 years old, produce a subtle wine with complex aromas of wild flowers, red fruits, and noble spices. The elegance of this wine lies in the harmony between its concentration, balance, and length. A beautiful cuvée that should be decanted before serving.

About wine:

Pale ruby. Fragrant red fruit, delicately spiced, with mineral notes. The palate is supple, almost racy, playful and long. The grippy tannins dominate the finish a little at the moment. Elegant and long.
