TASTING NOTES
Dark, dense, with a pink-orange rim. sweet, ripe, maturing fruit with an evolved, meaty, cinnamon nose. Full, with rounded, spicy redcurrant fruit and decent texture. a little grip here. wood-spice notes. sweet, graceful maturity.
BACKGROUND
The vineyards cover 55 hectares of the Pauillac commune, lying across two of the all important gravel croupes in a single block around the chateau which, amusingly, seems to have its own bus stop just on the road outside. The vines stretch away from the chateau as far as the D206, which runs between Pauillac and Saint-Laurent, but they do not extend across onto the Bages plateau on the other side of the road. They also run down to the southwest, towards the vineyards of Batailley and Lynch-Moussas. The vines are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, accounting for 75%, the remainder Merlot, planted at a density of 10000 vines/ha, and with an average age of 38 years.
