Their top cuvée, the 2012 Chateau Louis (90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc), has a dense ruby/purple color, sweet black cherry and cassis notes, underlying minerality, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, ripe tannin, excellent depth and richness and a long finish. Produced from a late harvest October 16-19, and tiny yields of 19 hectoliters per hectare, this is a sleeper of the vintage and a noteworthy effort.
