Deep ruby red hue. Powerful nose disclosing ripe fruits and warm spicy notes. A smooth, clean attack gives way to a well-balanced palate with rich, smooth tannins. This wine’s harmonious structure and elegance perfectly represent this Premier Cru.

"Cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral flavors are framed by vanilla and toasty oak in this intense red. Bright acidity and a solid base of tannins lend support as this fades gracefully on the multifaceted finish. Overall, there’s a sense of finesse."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2025
