Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
A Troisième Cru Classé in Margaux, on the deep gravel banks at Cantenac that give the commune its reputation for perfume. Cabernet Sauvignon leads with Merlot and a little Cabernet Franc. Blackcurrant and dark plum with cedar, violet, tobacco leaf and a gravelly, graphite minerality. Full-bodied with firm but finely grained tannin — Margaux is the most aromatic of the Médoc communes and the least brawny, and this shows that: structure carried on scent rather than muscle. Slow to open and built for the long haul.
