(04-2009) Last year, 2007 was on the verge of maturity. This year, this cru is among the most successful of Margaux and Médoc. For the first time, Didier Foret, director, practiced very extensive plot collection. The wine did not know either frost or hail. The color is beautiful, dark and intense. Fruity nose, a little discreet, but fine. The entry in the mouth is distinguished by a fine pulp and the wine develops aromatic, on a particularly refined touch. Very charming, tasty, with depth in the taste, it ends long and sappy, with a very nice balance and fine tannins. Some pleasure ! Blend: 65% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. Selection of 55% fine wine.
