"THE wine that beat the legendary Petrus in London in 2004 during a memorable blind tasting of the 1999 vintage!"
Made from a carefully selected blend of Merlot and Petit Verdot from specific vineyard plots, this exceptional cuvée undergoes an exceptionally long aging process to bring out its full potential. The 2020 vintage, one of the most accomplished of the decade, captivates with its rare intensity, elegant tannins, and a majestic, lingering finish worthy of the greatest wines. Decant several hours before serving or celller for a few years.

Palate
Straightforward, precise, and powerful, yet well-rounded. The wine is dense, full-bodied, and balanced, with a velvety, tightly structured tannic framework. A rich finish with exceptional length, hinting at the potential for this wine to blossom into a truly great wine after a few years of aging.
