“Superb vintage in the decade; purple colour, expressive nose, ripe with aromas of blackcurrant and fresh prunes. On the palate, the attack is fleshy, followed by velvety tannins and unctuousness. Sovereign balance. Grand wine for laying down”

Delivers a core of anise and red licorice character, with solid grip and definition already and a long, fruit-filled finish. A powerful style of Pomerol…

… A really successful 2010… Lots of pleasure…

Coup de cœur «Pomerol»
… The vinifications, followed by Denis Dubourdieu and Valérie Lavigne, seek to express the aromatic flavor and freshness of the grapes harvested at just maturity. Les extractions douces conferrent suavité et densità aux vins. This objective is remarkably achieved in 2010, the wine being a model éclatant du pomerol classique!

Tous les lots de 2010 sont d'un très bon niveau et le cru presente un assemblage à la couleur pourpre, au nez fruité, frais, mûr.

Really attractive nose with wild strawberries, raspberries and rose petals. Dark plums and red cherries with some sweet tobacco and black pepper. Full-bodied and intensely juicy on the palate with velvety tannins, and a beautiful finish with licorice and some vanilla from the new wood. So attractive now but leave it alone for four or five years.
