Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | The new owner here wished clearly to signal a break with the past, and to do so through more intense block selection and softer winemaking techniques. Consequently, there will be only 30,000 bottles in this 2017 vintage. The wine is made up of 30 percent Cabernet Franc and 70 percent Merlot. Generous tannins, with a chalky impetus from the mid-palate through to the finish. This is a most successful first vintage! | 92
