Grapes from 40-year-old vines make up the bulk of this wine, giving it structure, concentration and weight. Densely wrought, its black fruit is still suppressed by wood and fruit tannins. The balance will come, giving an elegant wine in 3–4 years.

A fresh wine, with some of the richness of the vintage showing in up-front red berry fruits. The tannins are already well integrated, allowing the wine to show a softer side. It is for medium-term aging.

From the north of the Margaux appellation, this is a wine that has tense, acidic, black berry fruits, soft tannins and a light, juicy character. Not for long-term aging.
