Description

The 1855 grand cru classé is located in the appellation Saint-Julien appellation and stretches over more than 70 hectares. There, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines are cultived with care according to sustainable pricipals which are almost organic in nature. Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo plot-by-plot vinification and the wine is matured for a year and a half in oak barrels. It’s without a great suprise that the wine can age for long ageing and seduces any one who tastes it with its elegance and depth. A wonderful minerality unites the ensemble which can be enjoyed earlier than other wines in the appellation.

James Suckling : “This has aromas of blackberries and blackcurrant, as well as graphite and flint. Some gunpowder. It’s full-bodied with extremely refined tannins, a creamy character and al-dente fruit at the finish. Crunchy, succulent and linear. Mineral edge to it, like licking a stone. Energetic. 83% cabernet sauvignon and 17% merlot.”
