This property have turned out a finesse-styled 2010 with loads of blueberry and raspberry fruit as well as hints of pomegranate, crushed rock and damp earth. A blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is medium-bodied and stylish, not a blockbuster by any means, but a wine of finesse to drink over the next 10-12 years. This old property was brought to life by Dr. Alain Raynaud and then sold to the owners of Cheval Blanc.

Rounded and accessible in feel, with bright, floral-tinged blueberry and black cherry fruit. Spice and toast is subtle, and the finish easygoing. Not superdeep, but should knit up well enough.

91-93 Very powerful spicy wine with rounded fruit despite the dense tannins. It has juicy acidity, finishing with a dark, dry aftertaste.
