Elegant, red and black berries, caramel; with entrecôte.
A true classic. Medium-bodied, with a structured profile and a long, penetrating finish. The only missing ingredient here is time.
The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin in the mouth, a keen line of acidity, fine precision here with a mineral-rich finish that exudes terroir expression.
A deep nose of fresh fruit aromas. Chiselled, intense and suave on the palate, with a balance and refinement rarely seen. Creamy and structured.

Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with a sweet core of fruit, lively acids and powdery tannins
