  The wine quickly focuses you on its floral characteristics paired with black raspberries, plums, black, with white cherries, dark chocolate, and just an edge of coffee beans. The palate however, is where the excitement takes place. The wine is opulent, rich, aromatic, concentrated, and long. The mark of freshness is there, but, you also experience the wine's elegance, and silky tannins, as well as its length, and width on the mid-palate, and finish. Interestingly, here, it was the moderate amount of sun hours that helped make the vintage as it shielded the grapes from the late summer heat wave. From a blend of 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc, 14.60% ABV. The harvest took place September 10-September 14. It is great to see continuing strong wines from the Durantou family. Drink from 2029-2060. 97-99 Pts.

  96-98 Punkte. Gänsehaut garantiert, eine Nase zum Eintauchen, floral, steinig, dunkelfruchtig, erhaben; fleischiger Gaumen, satte Frucht, markantes Tannin kontert, ungemein energetisch, spannungsvoll, mächtig, langanhaltend im Abgang. Ein monumentaler l'Église Clinet, für eine kleine Ewigkeit gebaut. (En Primeur Tasting April 2024, 14.6 Alkohol)
