Assemblage et vinification

Behind this signature lies a meticulous parcel selection from the gravels of Pauillac—poor, free-draining and warm soils that encourage even ripening and fine tannins. The harvest, sorted with jeweler’s care, aims to express the purest fruit and clarity of framework. Vinification, carried out with precision, seeks harmony, depth and aromatic clarity to highlight the uprightness and elegance of the cru. Maturation in fine oak sculpts the material without overpowering it, adding definition, persistence and a subtle patina. The result is a high-bred red, ample, vertical and intensely expressive, built to unfurl gracefully over the years while offering, from today, a clear reading of its style and pedigree.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Deep and luminous with ruby highlights, it promises composed concentration. Slow legs on the glass reflect a well-formed body and generous texture, promising a velvety mouthfeel.
• Nez : Precise and nuanced, it blends ripe dark fruits, blackcurrant and blackberry, with echoes of cedar, graphite and gentle spices. With air come notes of light tobacco, licorice and a floral hint, marking a noble complexity without ostentation.
• Bouche : A broad attack rests on a dense, perfectly polished tannic frame. The mid-palate unfolds a savory energy, between depth of fruit and lengthening freshness. The very persistent finish leaves an echo of black berries, fine cocoa and a mineral touch that invites the next sip.

Température de service et conseils

To reveal its full complexity, serve at cellar temperature in a large glass to encourage gradual aeration. A gentle decant can be considered when young to soften the structure and open the bouquet without upsetting the balance. Allow it a few moments to breathe—the wine then gains in definition, clarity and smoothness of expression. For storage, keep bottles on their side in a cool, dark environment with stable humidity to preserve the cork’s integrity and the purity of the fruit. It has significant ageing potential, and you can follow its evolution, vintage in hand, over the years according to your own tasting horizon.

Accords mets et vin

• Foie gras poêlé : the richness of the dish meets the wine’s depth, highlighted by a discreet chutney and lightly toasted brioche.
• Carré d’agneau aux herbes : concentrated jus and tender texture, a pairing that underlines the Pauillac’s backbone and its spicy length.
• Pigeon rôti : robust jus and root vegetables, the noble flesh responds to the finesse of the tannins and the complexity of the bouquet.
• Côte de bœuf grillée : controlled cooking, Bordelaise jus, confit potatoes—a dialogue of intensities showcasing the substance.
• Fromages affinés : aged Comté, mimolette or sheep’s tomme to highlight the wine’s aromatic relief and length.
