Perfumed blackcurrants, quite dark and true to form with a gorgeous perfume. Aromatics are great. Juicy and crisp, sleek and svelte, definitely quite streamlined but with such soft, velvety tannins that give grip but support the vibrant fruit so well. I love this. Really very classic, muscular but gentle with purity and focus. Hard to explain but this is great, maybe quite light and not layered enough, but there’s such complex flavours and aromas. And the acidity is excellent. A very friendly wine that will be easy to approach. Half gravelly soil, half limestone with 50% chalk on Cabernet – really rare for a cru classé. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.56pH. A yield of 32hl\/ha.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e96 points - Decanter\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePlease note: The deposit price is for a 6-bottle case and is \u003cstrong\u003einclusive of VAT and shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e to your preferred delivery location in Ireland upon release in 2028.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow To Buy En Primeur In 4 Steps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eSelect which En Primeur wine\/wines you would like to order, and pay for them today.
