Another brilliant effort from a small 45-year-old vineyard on the clay and limestone plateau above Pavie and Pavie Decesse this blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc was cropped at 30 hectoliters per hectare. A classically structured St.-Emilion it boasts an opaque purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of black raspberries creme de cassis blueberries espresso roast and pen ink. Huge tannin massive body and tremendous richness as well as depth suggest it will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring and should drink well for 20-25.
