Nose

The nose expresses aromas of black and ripe berries (blackcurrant and blackberries) and floral notes. A beautiful freshness, neatness and aromatic precision.

Palate

On the palate, the texture is harmonious, with wrapped and fine tannins. The fruit give a very pleasant style and accompanies the wine in its length. A beautiful classic vintage.

Growing Conditions

2014 is a surprise vintage and a great success! Spring was early and Summer was temperate and humid until late August. The vine had a long growing season and late maturity. These conditions mobilized teams and imposed a hard work in the vineyards for its protection. At the end of August, the heat and sunshine came back permanently in our area for almost 60 days! Optimal conditions for an ideal and steady ripening with warm days and cool nights. We observed an outstanding maturity of the tannins and all indicators showed a great vintage with a concentration of polyphenols, a good level of acidity and sugars and a beautiful freshness of the fruit. The harvest took place from September 23rd to October 8th. The resulting wine has a nose combining minerality, fruit and complexity. On the palate the Margaux style is present with its balance, great elegance, freshness and fine tannins.
