A vintage that has taken its time to come round, the 2005 is starting to open up now, with menthol and hung game aromas. Still has richness and good fruit on the palate, and nice tannic grip. Savoury and powerful, still remarkably youthful. A blend of the estate’s 12 different parcels, principally on the Blonde side of the appellation; this domaine makes no single vineyard wines, its other cuvée, Oléa, is a barrel selection. Aged partly in barriques, partly in demi-muids, with around 25% new oak, for up to two years.
