The team's opinion

The 2023 vintage follows in the footsteps of great years, offering a masterful balance between concentration and freshness: A complex bouquet where notes of wild blueberries, blackberries, and crème de cassis mingle. A floral touch (violet) is perceptible, along with nuances of sweet spices and cedar brought by the precious wood. Palate: The attack is fleshy yet remarkably supple. The texture is often described as "velvety" or "silky." The tannins are fine, tight, and perfectly integrated, supporting a long, lingering finish of dark chocolate and white pepper.
