Blend and winemaking

From a reference Médoc terroir, this Pauillac is based on a classic left-bank blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and possible accessory varieties. Careful parcel selection and precise berry ripeness provide clean fruit that is both generous and tightly held. In the cellar, restrained élevage enhances the framework without imprinting it, preserving aromatic purity and a silky texture. The attention paid at every stage, from the vine to bottling, is felt in the wine’s clarity of expression, its uprightness and its brilliance. Nothing is demonstrative, everything is suggested with tact. This patient work yields a rare harmony where density never sacrifices grace and where depth pairs with a sapid freshness that invites food and cellaring.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Deep and luminous, it reflects the vintage’s vitality and announces concentrated material with an attractive sheen.
• Nose : A noble bouquet combining ripe black fruits, fine spices and a touch of cedar, supported by graphite notes and delicate undergrowth. Aeration reveals more floral nuances and a subtle mineral dimension.
• Palate : Generous and precise attack, a vibrant mid-palate framed by velvety, tightly knit tannins. The finish, lithe and persistent, unfolds a sapid, mouthwatering sensation characteristic of great Pauillac wines.

Serving temperature and tips

Served slightly below room temperature in wide glasses, this wine expresses itself with majestic fluidity. A prior decanting helps open the bouquet and soften the structure, sharpening contours while revealing the fruit’s sap. Store the bottle in a calm environment, protected from fluctuations, to preserve the integrity of its substance and the balance of its aromas over time.

Food pairings

• Noble meats : roasted beef joint, herb-crusted rack of lamb, spiced duck.
• Delicate game : venison fillet, woodcock, reduced sauces and rich jus.
• Truffle and mushrooms : truffle-stuffed poularde or risotto, sautéed porcini, silky meat jus.
• Elegant rustic cuisine : pâté en croûte, braised cheek, glazed root vegetables.
• Mature cheeses : long-aged comté, mountain tommes, soft cheeses with bloomy rinds.
