"Polychrome because it uses a variety of grape varieties: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The appellation's main grape varieties bring their nuances to this beautiful vintage, as does 15 months of aging in large barrels. Tasters praise its dark, youthful color, its dense, complex and refined nose of ripe fruit, with black cherry at the forefront, and its smooth, full-bodied and deep palate, where black fruit is combined with well-integrated oak. Character and potential." (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

About the estate:
Charles Blanc's parents, originally from Saint-Émilion and Cognac, and themselves the children of winegrowers, bought this estate, which had been established in 1917, in 1978. Their son took over the property in 2001 after training in Sancerre and New Zealand. He kept only the best of his vineyard, now covering 4.7 hectares, replanted eight grape varieties, trees, and hedges, adopted organic farming methods, and is committed to "demecanizing" his practices to achieve greater precision.
