🍷 Appearance

Deep ruby to near-black in the glass with dark crimson hues, showing good colour concentration typical of Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blends.

👃 Aroma (Nose)

Complex aromas of blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry rise from the glass. Layers of liquorice, cedar, vanilla spice and earthy notes add depth, alongside hints of tobacco and olive.

👅 Palate

Medium-bodied and structured with flavours of cassis, blackberry and ripe plum. The palate develops savoury elements of tobacco, spice and subtle oak, delivering classic Bordeaux character with depth and balance.

⚖️ Structure

Supple yet structured with fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. The old-vine (“Vieilles Vignes”) fruit provides concentration while oak maturation adds complexity and polish.

🔚 Finish

Long and savoury with lingering dark fruit, cedar and gentle spice, finishing with a firm but smooth tannin grip.

🍇 Overall Style

A classic Bordeaux Supérieur—Merlot-dominant, structured yet approachable. It offers dark fruit richness, savoury complexity and balanced tannins typical of clay-limestone Bordeaux terroirs.

🍽️ Food Pairing

Excellent with roast lamb, grilled steak, beef stew, mushroom dishes or mature cheeses such as Comté or cheddar.

Cheers
