    The wine

    This second grand cru classé makes for a really great wine. With its straw hue, it is elegant and well-balanced on the palate. It is characterised by creamy smoothness, richness and delicious aromatic flavours of candied fruit. This is an excellent, long and full-bodied wine, skilfully produced with great expertise, which will reach maturity after a few years of aging.
