ANSON: "Good intensity to the flavours here, enjoyable, juicy, slate textured tannins, this has a kick of minerality - textured, grip, juice, the austerity feels well earned and not intrusive, with salinity and sappy cool blueberry fruits, cold ash on the finish. Another great value success from Nicolas Thienpont. Harvest 4 to 8 October. 20% new oak. Cabernet Franc from a massal selection from St Emilion., and this is the highest amount to date In organic conversion. Derenoncourt Consultants, 42hl/h yield."

VINUM: "Feinduftig, dezent rauchig, dunkle Kirschfrucht, florale Noten; zugänglicher Gaumen, feinkörnige Tannine umhüllen den Fruchtkern, die Säure wirkt stimmig, zieht den Wein in einen langen Abgang. Ein gelungener Wein, der früh Spass machen wird und doch reifen kann."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Quite floral in the perfume, from there you find black raspberries, spices, cherries, and cigar box aromas. Medium-bodied, forward, and already easy-to-drink, the finish is vibrant, chalky, fresh, and refreshing. You can enjoy this on release, or age it for at least a decade or more. Made from 65% Merlot, with 35% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2037."
