CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
Elegant yet driven with gentle power, nothing going overboard or trying too hard. This takes a beat, then it comes strongly - evident spice and flesh, full of raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant pastille, fennel, hawthorn and liquorice. The tannins build up through the palate and press in on the final moments. Virginie Salette winemaker since 2017. A yield of 32hl/ha. Vinify at around 22-23°C, so an extremely low and slow extraction. Harvest was from September 14 to 29. A big shouldered St-Julien but with a wide nuance of flavours.

Very dark with black core. Intense aroma of black fruit and smoky oak. Firm, dry in texture and deliciously fresh, perhaps in part thanks to those fine, dry tannins. The fruit is so dark, its almost savoury. Impressive depth and elegance in a young, embryonic wine. Powerful but extremely refined. (JH)
