First Growth. Premier Cru Classe in 1855.
Critic tasting note: "Tropical and orange fruits combine to produce a complex, fresh, honeyed wine with more than enough creme de caramel, custard, apricot tart, vanilla bean and butterscotch to please any sweet wine lover. The wine is concentrated, lusciously textured and ready for its prime time drinking window. 93 Points" - 93/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
