Alcohol: 13.5%
Grape(s): 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc
Location: Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France
Tasting Notes: Beautifully ripe and sexy, with a massive bouquet of blackcurrants, macerated black cherries, and smoked earth, it's full-bodied, opulent, and layered on the palate, with serious fruit. This brilliant wine will be approachable in its youth yet also evolve gracefully for 15 years or more. It should also be an incredible value
Notes: Densimetric sorting before vinification by plot in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Alcoholic fermentation is accompanied by pumping over and punching down, followed by malolactic fermentation in vats. The wine is aged for 12 months in barrels (50% new).
