  March 16, 2024 - Beau Bordeaux qui représente un relief très velouté. Nez d'un fruité direct, frais, sur les bleuets, la cerise. À la fois élégant et moderne, beacoup de générosité. Beaucoup de charme et de personnalité, mais il manque le facteur Wow.

  December 31, 2023 - Opened, poured and let sit about 30 min. Then: Maybe some dark fruit on the nose. Taste starts out with some nice dark fruit; medium body; acidity not a problem; tannins start out not that noticeable, but by the end of the glass (30 min) are a bit grippy; not over-ripe; 14.5% alcohol, but not noticeable. Not complex, but a pleasant BDX that I think can go a bit longer without a problem.

  December 24, 2023 - From magnum. Big bright fruit, still very primary, drinking very well with a nice nose, structure and length. Huge crowdpleaser with a Christmas Eve Chinese feast and great QPR. Should last for a number of years.

  November 2, 2023 - Pnp for dinner. Black berries and cherries, earth, graphite, and some herbs. Mostly Merlot, easy to drink and a good food wine, IMO this represents a good qpr if you like the style. Really a pretty big wine.

  July 16, 2023 - 80% Merlot and the rest mainly Cabernet Franc and a little bit Cabernet Sauvignon. Bought discounted as the last bottles of the vintage and for about 9,00€ a super bargain. Nice color with some evolution and on the nose cherries, cedar and chocolate. Smooth on the palate,very easygoing, with limited dept but very tasty and fresh. The 14,5% alchol is hardly noticeable. This is for me one of the best QPR in the entire Bordeaux region: I bought at bargain prices and what I rarely do in cases this wine from vintages 2003 (controversial but in a style I appreciated then, and maybe even today), 2012 (undervalued on the right bank) and 2015. This wine is ready to drink.
  Diam cork.
