One of the best wines produced by proprietress Sophie Fourcade since their 1998, the 2010 from Les Grandes Murailles is a real beauty. Floral notes interwoven with blueberry, mulberry and black cherry as well as crushed chalk jump from the glass, giving the wine a striking precision and minerality as well as lavish fruit. It is full-bodied, rich, pure, textured and impressively long. Drink it over the next 15 years.

Very clean and pretty fruit, with blackberry and currants ,with hints of minerals. Full body, with pretty tannins and a delicate finish.

Just on the edge of overripe. Pure and supple but bigger tannic structure than ususal.
