Tasting notes
(50% vendange entier ; 100% new oak): Medium red. Tighter on the nose than the 2014 version, offering scents of raspberry, bitter chocolate and peppery spices; this will go truffley with bottle age. Then surprisingly sweet but pungent in the mid-palate, combining a wonderfully silky texture with terrific floral tension. Boasts high-pitched citrus peel, blood orange and spice notes that excite the taste buds. Finishes with very fine-grained tannins and terrific grip and length. Near-grand cru quality here.

(vinified with 50% whole clusters): Good deep red. Rich, deep aromas of black raspberry, espresso and spices accented by a peppery nuance. Broad and perfumed in the mouth, with the dark raspberry fruit complicated by notes of bitter chocolate, coffee, crushed stone and orange peel. Really coats the mouth without leaving any impression of undue weight. Finishes with a captivating restrained sweetness, noble tannins and lovely lingering perfume.
