“The wine that beat the legendary Petrus in London in 2004 during a memorable blind tasting of the 1999 vintage!”
Crafted from a meticulously selected blend of Merlot and Petit Verdot, this exceptional cuvée undergoes an exceptionally long aging process to achieve its full refinement. The 2020 vintage, one of the finest of the decade, captivates with its rare intensity, elegant tannins, and majestic, lingering finish, worthy of the greatest wines. Decant several hours before serving or cellar for a few years.
