This wine is an elegant, classic Saint-Julien from a cooler vintage. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red colour with slight garnet reflections. The nose is refined and complex: blackcurrants, cassis and ripe cherries combine with notes of cedar wood, tobacco, leather and a subtle spiciness. On the palate, the wine is balanced and harmonious, with ripe, velvety tannins and fresh, lively acidity. The fruit aromas combine with mineral nuances and a hint of toasted aromas, and the finish is long, elegant and precise. A Bordeaux of classic finesse, perfect with lamb, beef or mature cheese.
