Description

Situated northeast of the town, the vineyards surround those of Château Rayas. Spread over 70 hectares the soils vary greatly, from sand to quartz (galets) and clay/limestone outcrops. This diversity of soil and exposure adds complexity to the blend, with the fruit from the sandier soils lending aromatic elegance and that from the galets giving power and intensity. The vines are over 65 years in age and the fruit gains incredible levels of concentration as a result.

Deep ruby red in color, with a black cherry core. This wine has lively berry fruits on the nose, with a touch of licorice and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied and the ripe tannins gently support the cherry, cassis, and herb character on the finish.
