Tasting notes
Cassis, dark currants and a touch of mint lead the nose. The palate is full-bodied with amazing, velvety tannins and a sense of depth and power. Creamy and polished. Drink or hold.

Essentially a young-vines cuvée from estate vineyards, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Les Petits Morlet offers a gorgeous nose, filled with scents of purple raspberries and lovely floral elements. In the mouth, it's full-bodied and supple, with a finish that delivers hints of dark chocolate and a subtle coating of fine-grained tannins.
Leading off the 2021s, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Les Petits Morlet has a beautiful red, blue, and black-fruited style as well as some complex spice, walnut, and tobacco notes in a medium to full-bodied, round, supple style. It's up with the finest wines of the vintage at the price, and I'd certainly be happy to drink a bottle any time over the coming decade.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Les Petits Morlet is silky, aromatic and super-expressive. A wine of restraint and class, the 2021 marries power with subtle notes that add character. Red cherry fruit, plum, blood orange, spice, new leather and rose petal lend lovely brightness throughout.
