Tasting notes

Ruby in color with a certain vibrancy, the nose is composed of a myriad of berry flavoring with vanilla and cedar accents to the backdrop. The tannins unfold with a very supple pleasing length, giving a rounded feeling.

Heritage in the vineyard

Domaine

Purchased by Scottish businessman, John Lewis Brown in 1803, the estate was classified in 1855 as a 3ème Grand Cru Classé. Planting an arboretum, which has grown over time along with the neo-Tuor style of the Château gives a strong Scottish influence to the estate. Purchased in 2019 by the Le Lous family.
