"The 2012 reveals an intense liqueur of wet rocks and chalk intermixed with red currant, pomegranate and raspberry fruit. Medium-bodied and elegant, it is almost Burgundian in its sense of place and terroir-driven personality. This 2012 will require some cellaring when released, and should drink well for 15 or more years.
This 6.2-acre vineyard sandwiched between Belair-Monange and the now defunct Magdelaine has virtually no top soil whatsoever. It is pure, hard limestone, which is often apparent in this wine’s crushed chalk-like notes. Composed of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc and made under the guidance of consultant Hubert de Bouard, the wine hit 13% natural alcohol."
