From a 38-hectare vineyard planted on Pyrenean gravel soils on limestone subsoil. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, this has notes of cola, cool blue fruits, liquorice and wet stone nuances on the nose with dried herbs, dark chocolate and blackcurrants. Supple and succulent, this has a generous profile of chewy strawberry and cherry fruit, lifted acidity with bite and tang and chalky tannins giving texture and nuance of flavour. Still feels a little on the shy side, but there's a gentle calmness about this. Feels well made with plenty of power, brightness and freshness. Lots going on with a long, persistent minty fresh finish where the minerality also lingers in the flint and graphite flavour on the tongue. It's got it all if still a little youthful or in a closed phase. Owned by  Vignobles Chanfreau.
