Very dark crimson. Lively. Muscular and confident but pretty chewy on the end. Very firm!
Jeff Loo, JJ Buckley, April 2011
80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Located next to Angelus, Beausejour Becot and Beausejour Duffau. The nose shows wonderful aromas of mineral, wet stone and spice followed by red fruit, pepper, smoked meat and truffle. Medium bodied, the palate offers big tannins and subtle acidity. The wine needs time, but I feel that in another 5-8 years the wine will resolve itself in bottle and get even better.

There is a touch of ostentatious on this supremely ripe, gregarious bouquet with ravishing dark cherries, cassis and blueberries. The palate is sweet on the entry. Saturated tannins, ripe Morello cherries, strawberry and vanilla leading to quite an oaky finish. Very seductive but perhaps not quite as cerebral as recent vintages.

2010: From a fabulous location on the south/southwest slope near such notable estates as the two Beausejours and Angelus, this 15-acre vineyard has produced 1,500 cases from yields of 24 hectoliters per hectare. A blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, it offers up aromas of crushed rocks, black raspberries, black cherries and cassis. An opulent, full-bodied St.-Emilion displaying sweeter tannins than normal, this impressively endowed, pure wine is capable of lasting 20-25 years.

Still a bit powerfully raw, with dark roasted spice and licorice up front, followed by a large core of dark fig, plum and currant paste. Noticeably grippy through the long finish. Rather backward now, but with plenty of guts. -J.M.
