  • What the experts say...

    (...) Le 1989, d'un beau rubis, se révèle plus fruité que de coutume, avec des arômes de mûre. Moyennement corsé et faible en acidité, il manque de complexité. (...) Source: Robert Parker (4/91)

    The wine

    Concentrated and full-bodied, these wines can sometimes seem tannic. Michel Rolland has recently begun supervising their vinification, and so they have a promising future.
