This small family estate has crafted wine since 1933 in the heart of Saint-Emilion's most prestigious area, and the 2018 demonstrates why this quiet producer commands respect among those seeking authentic expression over acreage. With 80% Merlot from forty-year-old vines planted on clay-limestone soils, the wine shows the crisp, fresh character of a well-made young Saint-Emilion, structured and firm with dark black fruit and rich, superripe Merlot character balanced by fine tannins. Unpretentious and food-friendly, this is a wine that rewards a few years in the cellar but can be enjoyed young for its clarity and directness. A genuine Grand Cru that lets terroir and variety speak without manipulation.
