BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane:Good color, rich creamy texture, some chocolate on the nose; very ripe berries, a feeling of high alcohol content, well made in a style giving to Merlot more influence than Cabernet. 15.5

Thierry Desseauve:A lot of charm, with its fresh and fruity flavors, its round and soft body, and ripe structure. The Merlot variety provides a pleasant roundness for lack of real intensity. Easy to drink and elegant. 16

Michael Schuster:Very ripe fruit to smell; quite elegantly balanced, but also very firmly tannic; an attractive, if fairly straightforward ripe and fleshy fruit within the firm tannic sinews, modest complexity, medium length, quite warm from its alcohol. 2017–30. 15.5
