Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Intense purple in color, the nose opens after a few seconds and reveals toasted notes, freshly cooked bread, followed by fruit and floral aromas. The palate is concentrated and fleshy, revealing delicate tannins on the finish.

Blend: 86% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc , 2% Petit-Verdot

Professional Ratings

  • 88
    A finely made wine with big tannins equalled by the rich fruits. The wine has balanced wood character, acidity, great berry fruits, damsons and a firm, dry core that promises aging.

The combination of soil-type, grape varieties, rootstock, age of the vines and separate vinifications and aging as led to wines of great character and complexity. The estate has achieved a reputation beyond its appellation as the model of a great, yet affordable, Bordeaux wine.

In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
