2015 vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon 49%, Merlot 42%, Petit Verdot 7% and Cabernet Franc 2%. Needs time to open up. Mineral nose with Pauillac-like lead pencil, but could do with a bit more fruit. Medium-bodied, a bit severe in the mouth (maybe it's the bottle?), lacks charm, and no match for the 2019 tasted alongside.

Aug 16th, 2024Perfectly full-bodied, rich with plums and black currants. Surprisingly soft tannens that become more silky as the wine opens.

Dec 30th, 2022Very impressed by both wines I’ve had from this Chateau in the last year. Drinks way above its price. Cassis, black fruits, pencil lead, good structure for aging.
