Color: deep ruby. Nose: a Grand Cru with intensity and elegance, offering a complex bouquet of cherry, violet, fern, and liquorice. With aeration, notes of sweet spices (vanilla, pepper) and a subtle smokiness emerge. Palate: dense, concentrated, and juicy, yet marked by exceptional tannic finesse and remarkable length, lifted by a fresh, vibrant finish. Pairing: beef tenderloin. Comment: a superb terroir sublimated by the estate.
