(54% Cabernet Franc, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot) The nose is fine, fruity and elegant. It reveals notes of sour cherry and cassis combined with slight notes of blackberry, tea as well as touches of grey pepper and oak. The palate is fresh, mineral, harmonious and offers a quite silky / smooth matter. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, black berries and black cherry associated with touches of red fruit, chocolate, vanilla, oak and cocoa on the finish. There is a touch of salinity on the finish. Tannins are fine and slightly dry. Good length.
