Vintage 2023
Intense, the nose seduces with its complexity and elegance. The purity of the fruit bouquet reflects the perfectly mastered maturity of the three grape varieties. Each variety brings its own personal touch, with hints of blackcurrant from the Cabernet Sauvignon, a luscious strawberry perfume from the Merlot, and delicate floral notes from the Cabernet Franc.
Hovering above the vibrant fruit, a mineral character emerges, slightly saline, attesting to the vineyard's gravel soils. Harmony and balance are created by juicy, generous Merlot peppered with the spicy, floral notes of the Cabernets. An incredibly persistent freshness ends the tasting with great emotion.
