From Helene Garcin (who does a fabulous job with all her family’s estates), this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot exhibits a Graves-like bouquet of scorched earth, charcoal embers, red and black currants, loamy soil and tobacco leaf. With good ripeness, decent acidity and sweet tannin, it is not as big and rich as some top vintages have been, but it is a charming red to enjoy over the next 6-8 years.
