Three hour double decant. Deep dark magenta color. Black cherry, plum, mushroom, and huckleberry. Smooth, dry palate. Firm, lower intensity tannins on the medium long+ finish.
28 hecatres so one of the smallest classified growths. 120,000 bottles of first wine. and 70% first wine and is the main thing they do. 2022 they did 89% first wine. A no-no wine. So no yeasting, racking, etc.. Battonage 2 - 3 times a week. 60 - 80% new barrels. 12 - 14 months aging. Age each plot and then blend it. No filtering so more like 12 months. Still driect and tight to it.

Beautiful, lovely wine, at a very good price. Continues to impress us. Tasting notes as before.
Tasted alongside a 2018 Ch D’Issan and this was much better. Just more elegant and perfumed.

Nice violet and fine oak on the nose. Finish has nice persistency. The 14.5% alc is too high for my taste, it it was still a very enjoyable wine.
