Item Description
Smoky wood aromas come with balanced fruit and acidity. The wine is attractively fresh, layered and soft. Some tannins show through to give the wine structure. An exceptional french red blend.
...and some commentary in French...
Une belle demeure traditionnelle en pierre commande un vignoble de 38,5 ha, implanté sur les coteaux sud du hameau de Heux, réputé pour son église du XIIIes. Le vin (50 % de merlot, complété de cabernet franc et de tannat) a lui aussi belle allure dans sa robe pourpre, soutenue et brillante. Le bouquet intense se montre complexe, mêlant les fruits (cassis, cerise), la vanille, les épices (cannelle, réglisse) et les notes toastées de l'élevage. Volumineux, le palais adossé à des tanins soyeux est porté en finale par de jolies sensations fruitées (cassis, poire), réglissées et boisées. Un dégustateur verrait bien cette bouteille harmonieuse, un peu sauvage, sur un steak de sanglier en sauce.
