Tasting Notes:

“Grilled tobacco leaf and liquorice on the first nose, there is a flash of spiced heat to kick things off, reflecting what is a gourmet wine full of personality and big tannins. Cocoa bean and espresso alongside blackberry and hedgerow fruit give a generous, unfussy feel. Jean-Luc Zuger is owner at this estate, one of the first in the Médoc to use gravity-fed winemaking over a two-storey wine cellar right back in the 1870s.” Score: 92 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, October 2021

Serving Suggestions:
