Deep plum/ruby with a sweet nose of mocha, berry fruit, dried herbs, and spice box, this wine exhibits excellent depth, a nicely layered texture, medium to full body, fine purity, and overall balance. It is a traditionally made as well as impeccably pure style of wine and a potential sleeper of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016. This is a property to keep an eye on now that Christian Moueix is giving it considerable attention. The vineyard is planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc and is well-situated on the plateau of Pomerol.
