Tasting notes

This cuvée, a Merlot-dominant blend with a smaller percentage of Cabernet Franc, reveals an inviting nose of blackberries, ripe plums, and cherries, accented by hints of violets, cedar, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that adds freshness. Layers of dark fruit, tobacco, and subtle earthiness unfold, leading to a long, elegant finish with notes of cocoa and vanilla from careful oak aging.
