Cabernet Franc, Merlot
MEDIUM-FULL BODIED, RED CURRANT, TOBACCO SPICE, EARTH, OAK
Often Bordeaux sends one’s palate into oaky, tannic shock, but here’s where the buck stops. Savory red fruit, warm tobacco spice, and cedar notes lay atop soft tannins. The result of renouncing any chemicals aside from very little sulfur sets this bottle apart from the rest.

It's hard to beat the location of this estate - across the road from Chateau Petrus. A deeply intense and plush Pomerol with immaculately ripe black currant and plum fruit. Wonderfully rich and expressive, and yet young, poised and restrained.
