Fourth Growth. Quatrieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Expert tasting note: "Medium ruby-red color. The nose has vivid, clean blackcurrant aromas. There is a medium intensity of leafy, cassis fruit on the palate & some peppery notes. Acidity is high & as a result makes the structure seem angular. Alcohol is balanced so the finish remains lean. The wine has attractive fruit, but it needs to fill & open out before it can balance the sharpness of the acidity." - 11/10 DCAMW

A first sorting of the fruit is done in the vines followed by a manual sorting on a vibrating sorting table. High-frequency de-stemming using a Pellenc de-stemmer, then densimetric berry sorting. The berries are cooled using a cryogenic tunnel (injecting a liquid nitrogen spray). Transfer to vats by gravity-flow using a mobile bin. Vinification in small-sized oak and concrete vats. Pre-fermentation cold soak (8°C). Completely manual pigeages. Low temperature alcoholic fermentations (28°C).

2006 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2018
Still just a bit oaky, but over the years, the wine has better integrated the wood. Full-bodied, round and with some firm tannins, the wine offers loads of black fruit, thyme and tobacco on the nose and palate.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2008
Dense, dark colour. Intense oaky, roasted coffee nose. Robust, stocky palate, with noble, expressive oak. A vintage with surprising power, with a good future.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: May 2007
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, jugendliche Reflexe, violetter Rand. In der Nase zart tabakig unterlegte dunkle Brombeerfrucht, feine Edelholzwürze, etwas Schokolade. Am Gaumen elegant, frisch, mittelgewichtig, etwas trockene Tannine, mittlere Länge, Kirschen im Nachhall.
