First Growth. Premier Cru Classe in 1855.
Critic tasting note: "Taking on a golden, coppery hue, the wine is all about its caramel, molasses, honeyed apricot, pineapple, creme brulee, and burnt sugar profile. Rich, sweet and fruity, there is ample freshness that keeps all that luscious textured, honeyed tropical fruit in check. 93 Points" - 93/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
