Owner's words
‘A vintage combining vivacity and precision’. Isabelle Davin, our Château Oenologist, praises the freshness of this vintage: ‘It's really about the brightness of the fruit, elegance and finesse, far from the opulence of black fruit. Here, it's a fresh, subtle and taut side that makes the mouth water and awakens the taste buds!
