Austere opening, you feel the shape and length of the tannins, well placed and skilfully constructed, with slim Cabernet floral rose petals and peony notes alongside savoury bilberry fruit, touch of liquorice bud and fresh juice on this finish. Finessed, drawn out, expertly constructed. Harvest 30 September to 14 October. 30 hl/ha. 55% new oak. 3.72 pH, Veronique Dausse director. Tasted twice.

(St-Estèphe; 68% Cabernet Sauvignon; 30% Merlot; 2% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 30 hl/ha; pH 3.72; 13% alcohol; tasted twice with similar notes). This is very classy and refined in an appellation where that is difficult to achieve in this vintage. Graphite, lead pencil shavings and classical dark berry fruits intermingling with heather and moorland flowers and herbs, this has a very beautiful restraint to its aromatic profile. Saline and slightly ferrous in its minerality. Slender framed, accentuating the sense of depth and layering, which it needs in a way. The extraction has been very gently managed here and the effect is to produce a lovely translucence to the mid-palate. It does not have the density of impact or concentration of the 2020, 2022 or 2023, but it reflects a fine set of choices. A great success once again in the context that matters – that of the vintage.

Deep garnet-purple in color. Skips out with bright notes of black raspberries, red currant jelly, and dried roses, followed by hints of powdered cinnamon and fertile loam. The light to medium-bodied palate is elegant and soft-spoken with approachable tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing fragrant.
