Tasting notes
The best effort in many a year (maybe ever) from this estate located near Bordeaux's airport, this property is on the rebound, as evidenced by recent vintages. Sweet tobacco, red as well as black currant and cherry, along with some earth/soil undertones emerge from this richly fruity, dark ruby/purple-colored wine. It is medium-bodied, elegant, and exceptionally pure. The wine is a candidate for near-term drinking ... over the next 7-8 years.

About the producer
Neighbouring Haut-Brion and Pape Clément, this estate has been turned around since Paulin Calvet took over in 2007. Working with the legendary late Denis Dubourdieu and Valérie Lavigne, results have been impressive.
