ample and suave mid-palate. The tannins are very fine, precise, velvety. The Margaux style is very assertive. The finish is very long, with spicy flavors, some subtle notes of tobacco, eucalyptus show a very beautiful freshness.
Grape variety: 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
Vintage 2017: The dry winter was marked by a lack of rainfall. Spring saw excesses between mild temperatures and severe frosts in April. The flowering was ideal in hot and dry conditions, the veraison was done evenly and the cool summer allowed to retain a nice acidity. Our best plots located on the Brane plateau and on the Carabin area were spared from frost and benefited from favorable conditions from all points of view. The 2017 vintage is in line with the two previous vintages.
