Characterized by gravelly soils, the 2019 Pontoise Cabarrus is a successful effort for this 28-hectare Haut-Médoc estate located not far from Sociando Mallet. Delivering aromas of rich berries, cherries, sweet soil tones and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with good depth at the core, powdery tannins and a youthfully structured finish.
