From its wax seal, its older vintage (this is the current release) and its name, expect interesting things. You won’t be disappointed. The wines come from a small parcel of land on the estate that was long considered too poor to plant. Native yeasts, whole berry fermentation and no filtering—that’s the methode ancienne part. There are just 20 barrels of poised, elegant wine with huge depth of flavor, black cherries and dense tannins blending well together.

The is the first vintage of this Bordeaux blend, after 10 years of planning and waiting. But the wine is excellent—there’s plenty of juicy fruit, dry wood and tannin, along with chocolate and plenty of firm berry flavors.

Whole-berry fermentation in open-top fermenters allows fermentation to take place slowly and gently. That’s the basis behind this open, generous wine, which has great black fruit flavor, good intensity and soft, ripe tannins.
