James Suckling 93pt

A beautiful St.-Julien that’s got everything you expect from this appellation, from the elegant, moderately dry tannins to the ripe red fruit and the lively acidity.

The wine

The second wine of the property was established in 1985 following the acquisition by Suntory group. It comes from vines that average 30 years old today and planted on gravelly soils for fine Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for some clay.
He received the same care as the Grand Vin, with a search for maturity and concentration in the vineyard, a plot vinification and aging adapted to its tannic structure.
The wine is characterized by round tannins, aromas of red and black fruits on his youth and still shows good potential

Tasting notes

An attractive, bright, intense carmine purplish red colour. The nose is finely perfumed with notes of spices, lovely ripe fruits and a hint of well- measured oak. In the palate this wine is quite round and juicy on the attack, filling out to become ample in the mid-palate and finishing on a note of smooth ripe tannins.
Already a really elegant and attractive wine, but one that will reveal its true personality in a few years from now.
