    Product description

    Located at the very top of the Saint-Emilion’s plateau this small estate has joined the tight circle of Grands Crus Classés in 2012. Their wine are harmonious with ripe fruit flavours and fine tannins.

    A delicate St Emilion with intense and complex aromas of red and black berry fruits and cedar notes. The palate is silky and round with a good length.

    Awards

    A clay-over-limestone estate, owned by Marie Lefévère, which has produced a wine with excellent balance of flavour, freshness and power in 2016. The enjoyable dark fruits, bitter chocolate, clean lines and generosity are not overdone - it's intense without a doubt, but has settled down during barrel ageing in 80% new oak. It was bottled this July. 32hl/ha yield.
