  I am a fan of this chateau and the 2009 is again sensationally good, mature, full bodied and hedonistic and with many years of life ahead.

  Nice spicy, herbal bouquet. Well done with good amount of freshness preserved, not overengineered, good Cab Franc character, maybe even a tiny bit lean for a 2009 in particular, but a long spicy finish. Good amount of complexity.

  From half bottle. I did not know what to expect and it was a great surprise. (Candid) cherries with some good minerality and floral components. Good to drink now but with plenty of years ahead. 91++

  Due to large proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend, this uniquely styled wine starts off with floral, fennel, licorice, and dark plum aromas. Medium/full bodied, with chalky tannins, the wine ends in mineral, leafy bright flavors.
