Production Details Grapes came from vines planted in 1967 at the base of the east-facing slope below Île des Vergelesses. The fruit was fully destemmed, gently fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in cask, 20% of which was new oak.
Tasting Notes Charles Curtis MW: bright blackberry, peony and spice, with a supple, silky texture and underlying substance. Jasper Morris MW: bright purple, energetic raspberry and cherry fruit, and a slightly firm, abrupt finish. Burghound: light reduction, ripe fruit, sleek middleweight flavours, a beguiling texture and a detailed, lightly stony finish.
