(2022) From the Moulis region, close to Margaux, the blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. Vinified in both steek and oak vats, the wine was then aged 15 months in barrel, 40% new oak. There's a little more lift and fragrance to this than the Canon-de-Brem, a slightly leafy and raspberry note joining the black fruits and spices. So smooth and silky on the palate, the tannins really grip here still, the acidity so fresh and vibrant, but that smooth, medium-bodied layer of mid-palate fruit and touch of mocha coffee in the background is elegant and delicious.
