This powerful wine from Bergerac, Bordeaux's neighbor to the east, is a big bold red that is 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon. This shift to partial blending with Cab from previous vintages of 100% Merlot adds a bit more backbone and complexity.
The wine is aged in oak for 12 months and the toasty nature of its barrel aging and its young but supple tannins make this a most elegant and powerful red. Decant and drink now through 2030.
