Tasted by: Andy Howard MW
Drinking Window: 2020 - 2024
From a small 3ha estate in the heart of St-Emilion comes this stony, characterful and balanced grand cru. Jean-Claude and Anicette Arnaud are the fourth generation here and have produced a linear, concentrated and subtle wine in 2015. Merlot-dominated (70%) with equal percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this is refreshing and displays leafy, red-berry fruit notes, with a lovely, cool finish.
