Description
Jérome calls this wine “mon Hermitage”. The nose is full of red and black fruit with spice hinting at huge depth behind the restraint. Deliciously balanced hedgerow fruit continues on the palate but this wine’s layered precision really grabs the attention. The tannins feel coated and glorious, melting away into a delicate yet invigorating, long, cherry blossom finish.

Critics reviews
80% destemmed. Aged in pièces and demi-muids for 15 months. Cask sample.
Tasted blind. A powerful and inviting nose of pastille fruits, blue fruit and cassis. Fresh and plenty of purity and energy on the palate – fine sandy tannins and a long finish. Supremely balanced and with a lovely core of fruit and a long, detailed and elegant finish – so much to enjoy here.

Some attractive Christmas spicing to the generous black fruits. Plump, round and fruity, with lovely, silky, supple tannins and a long finish. Particularly successful in this vintage thanks to the generosity of fruit, ripe tannins and smart oak work. Very good indeed.
