Assemblage et vinification

In the spirit of great Médoc wines, the winemaking prioritises fruit precision and structural harmony. Grapes from rigorously selected parcels are harvested at optimal ripeness and sorted to retain only the quintessence. Vinification, handled with care, aims to preserve aromatic clarity while building a fine, even framework. Maturation, conducted with a measured hand, supports the wine without overpowering it, adding complexity, definition and a silky mouthfeel. Every step, from the cellar to bottling, is guided by a search for balance, purity and consistency, delivering a Haut-Médoc faithful to its terroir, accessible now and with an attractive capacity for further development.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Deep garnet with purple highlights, clear and bright, announcing concentrated, well-controlled material.
• Nez : Precise bouquet of blackcurrant and blackberry, lifted by gentle spices, a whisper of violet and discreet cedar oak. On aeration notes of cocoa bean, blond tobacco and a touch of graphite—hallmarks of the Médoc—emerge.
• Bouche : Generous, straight attack; a savoury mid-palate supported by fine, satiny tannins. The wine gains depth while maintaining controlled freshness; the finish is long and clean, with a return of dark fruits and spice.

Température de service et conseils

To reveal its full elegance, serve this wine at a comfortable dining-room temperature—not too cool, not too warm—to preserve fruit brightness and tannin suppleness. A short period of airing benefits it greatly; you can open the bottle ahead of the meal or decant it to emphasise the floral dimension and bouquet depth. Prefer larger glasses that encourage gradual oxygenation and precise aromas. Store your bottles calmly, away from light, in a temperate, stable environment to support its evolution.
