Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A négociant Bordeaux from one of the trade's old houses, blending Merlot with the two Cabernets in classic proportions. Supple plum and blackcurrant with a leafy, cedary edge and soft tannin, medium-bodied and easy-shouldered. This is claret in its everyday form — no oak grandstanding, no need for a decade in the dark, just a balanced red built for the table within a few years of release.
