Auslieferung bis zum Herbst 2027!
Delivery until Fall 2027!

Savoury and juicy, this is full of crushed rose petals, generosity of spirit even if it shows the austerity of the vintage, wrapped by bitter chocolate, cloves and spiced rosemary. Slate texture, delicious and understated, with clear ageing capacity. 3.71ph,give a good eight to ten years before drinking. Harvest 23 September to 5 October. 3.71 pH. 100% new oak.

(Pauillac; 93% Cabernet Sauvignon; 7% Merlot; yields above the appellation average; pH 3.71; IPT 63; 12.9% alcohol; with Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy at Mouton Rothschild). Cedar, but a little less at this early stage then Le Petit Mouton. But is still gives a sense of how this will evolve aromatically. A lovely hint of rose petal. And redder berry fruits too. But then we find, above all with aeration, cassis, bramble, mulberry and black currant – in short, this is very, very Cabernet! A little introvert at this stage, this is all about fruit purity. I find this beguiling and enticing in equal measure, incredibly pure, precise, focussed and then crystalline in the mouth. Here we find the darker stone fruits – damson and cherry and a hint of the cedar to come. There’s more density (still) than Le Petit Mouton and more forward momentum too. Impressively substantial, again spherical at the core but pushing into the cheeks, so with considerable amplitude and a density and concentration largely absent elsewhere. Very aerial on the finish with a lovely Cabernet menthol lift. Incredibly long. This feels exceptionally classy and achieves a greatness in a vintage where that is extremely rare. A genuine vin de garde.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little shaking to wake up notes of kirsch, black cherries, and fresh black currant, giving way to nuances of garrigue, iris, and crushed rocks with a hint of lavender oil. The light to medium-bodied palate is wonderfully elegant and fresh with ripe, fine-grained tannins and well-sustained fruit, finishing on a lingering minerally note.
