100% old vine Merlot. 36 months barrel maturation. Layered dark fruit extract - spicy and fragrant (hint of cassis). Big extract and tight, firm, powerful tannins. A big wine in need of time. Drink 2020-2030. (16.5 points)

The estate’s luxury cuvee is produced from a 5-acre parcel of vines that was cropped at 20 hectoliters per hectare. A big, dense wine (14.5% alcohol) boasting an inky/purple color as well as abundant notes of creosote, charcoal, blueberries and blackberry liqueur, this full-bodied, opulent, intense effort is as concentrated a wine as one is likely to find from Lalande de Pomerol.

Saturated purple-black colour. More power and concentration than the regular cuvée. Tight firm structure for long ageing. Minerally freshness on the finish. Serious wine for this ''satellite'' AC.
