James Suckling
Blackberries, chocolate and sweet licorice. Opens with raspberries, dark cherries and a dense smooth mineral note. Medium body with bright red fruit and ripe fine fruit. Precise and fine with ripe tannins. Excellent. Best ever from here. Drink from 2015.

Wine Spectator
This has a taut chalky frame to the core of dark currant, plum and blackberry fruit. Smoldering tobacco and singed iron notes hang through the light toasty finish. Should soften nicely in the cellar. Best from 2013 through 2020.

Located 86 meters above sea level on the limestone plateau, the vineyard offers a magnificent view over the hills, valleys and mounds typical "of this count... this Fronsac" Tuscan girondine "if endearing." The plateau of clay composed of "molasses of Fronsac" relies on large limestone rock outcropping that of the surface. These are ideal conditions for Merlot, the grape king supplemented by Cabernet Franc up to 20%, which the Fronsac region is known for producing.
