"Polychrome" because it features a variety of grape varieties: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The main grape varieties of the appellation bring their nuances to this fine vintage, as does a 15-month ageing period in large-capacity barrels. Tasters praised the wine's dark, youthful color, its dense, complex and refined nose of ripe fruit, led by black cherry, and its suave, full-bodied, deep mouthfeel, where black fruit is combined with well-melted oak. Character and potential. (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

About the wine:
Polychrome, because it features a variety of grape varieties: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The main grape varieties of the appellation bring their nuances to this fine vintage, along with a 15-month ageing period in large-capacity barrels. Tasters praised the wine's dark, youthful color, its dense, complex and refined nose of ripe fruit, led by black cherry, and its suave, full-bodied and deep palate, where black fruit is combined with well-melted oak.

About the domain :
Charles Blanc's parents, originally from Saint-Émilion and Cognac, and themselves the children of winegrowers, bought this estate in 1978, which had been built up since 1917. Their son took over the estate in 2001 after training in Sancerre and New Zealand. He has kept only the best of his vineyard, 4.7 ha today, replanted eight grape varieties, trees and hedges, adopted organic farming and is committed to "de-mechanizing" his practices to gain in precision.
