Planted to 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. From an 8.1-hectare estate farmed by the Moueix family, soils are a combination of gravel, clay, and silt. Light to medium, translucent purple. Elegant nose characterized by dried cherry and cranberry notes, with secondary aromas of leather and tar. The palate is more generous than the nose, with similar fruit components infused with tapenade, camphor, cedar spice, and lead pencil. The angular tannins take on a powdery aspect on the lingering, medium-full finish. A pleasing and elegant effort that can be enjoyed on release and through 2029. About 3,000 cases produced.

Has refinement, with the plum skin notes imbedded into the core, allowing more succulent cherry and cassis to fan out on the anise-tinged finish, where a nice minerally thread knits it all. Tasted non-blind.-J.M.
