Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: A ripe nose, with spicy accents. The mouth is pure grape essence, with clearly defined fruit; long, fresh, voluptuous and elegant tannins, with a lovely hint of peppermint on the finish. This wine shows the best of what its terroir has to offer and the remarkable improvement of the wines over the past several years. Alain Raynaud is the consulting enologist, creating successful wines across the Guichard portfolio. 17.5
