Product notes

An elegant and approachable Margaux, combining plush fruit, refined structure and finesse. Best enjoyed at 16–18 °C, and pairs beautifully with red meats, lamb or game. Cellaring potential: 5 to 10 years depending on vintage

Production notes

Grapes are hand-harvested, then sorted both manually and via optical systems. Fermentation occurs with gravity flow and maceration for 20–30 days, without crushing. The wine is then matured for 12 months in French oak barrels, approximately 40% new and 60% second-fill, following the same winemaking care as the Grand Vin

Tasting notes

Deep ruby color. The nose displays ripe black fruit—blackberry, blackcurrant—along with floral notes of violet and subtle spices, and occasional graphite nuance depending on the vintage. The palate is balanced and refined, with fine tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long, with hints of salinity and licorice
