Tasting notes
Savoury blue fruit, a little knitted down right now because there are tannins here, gently layering up over the palate. Grilled oak, cocoa bean, cassis and sage, an impressive Médoc that delivers consistency in a tough year. 20% new oak. Second year of organic conversion. Harvest September 30 to October 15 (a plot of old Merlot was the very last thing to be picked), with a touch of micro oxyenation to smooth out the tannins.

Hints of smoke and tobacco to go with the black fruit and herbs. Medium-bodied, fresh and sleek with easy tannins and a savory finish. A little light this year but very drinkable. Merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Drink now.
Well put together, a ton of blue fruit, less big shouldered than many vintages of Escurac but there is sweet smoky oak, at this price level you are going to be hard pressed to find a better Cru Bourgeois. 20% new oak. Second year or organic conversion. Harvest September 30 to October 15 (a plot of old Merlot was the very last thing to be picked). Touch of micro oxyenation to smooth out the tannins.
