The palate features loads of zip and zing with bags of freshness to counter the rich fruit, finishing on a lingering gingery note.
This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh final.
Pale to medium lemon-gold colored, opening out to notes of honeydew melon, nectarines and baked apples with touches of lightly browned toast, allspice and powdered ginger.
Deep garnet-purple colored, notes of cedar chest, cloves and stewed plums, followed by notions of cassis, dried Provence herbs and tobacco leaf with a waft of dusty soil.
Full-bodied, firm and rugged in the mouth with brawny, muscular fruit and a sturdy frame of grainy tannins, it finishes long and savory.
Selection of century old grenaches planted by the winemaker's ancestor Pollus.
A powerful, sensual wine.
Simply magnificent. The wine is rich, with incredible intensity and tannic structure. The finish is long and makes you want to go back for more!
