Vinifications:
Maceration generally lasts for more than four weeks, but varies according to grape variety, vineyard plot, and the age of the vines. The wine is run off directly into barrels, where it ages for sixteen to twenty months, depending on the vintage. The proportion of new barrels is never greater than two thirds.
Tasting Notes:
當今最熱門的波爾多紅酒之一，保持能躋身頂級酒莊的超班水準，酒評權威長期高度肯定；產區少數採用生物動力耕作的酒莊，18個月木桶陳釀，帶來無與倫比的豐厚濃郁、純淨甜美；當代經典名酒
One of the few bio-dynamically farmed vineyards in the Medoc, producing first-growth level wines; pure nose of sweet crème de cassis; incredible concentration, stunning richness, morden day classic
Other Reviews:
Deep colour. Classic nose, black fruits with a gentle whiff of toasted barrels. Pleasantly full in the mouth, lots of silky tannins. A promising wine, expressive and well-made. 93 points
