Tasting Profile

On the nose, expect intense aromas of cassis, blackberry, blueberry, ripe plum and dark berries, complemented by classic notes of graphite, pencil shavings, crushed stone and refined new oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with layers of pure dark fruit framed by powerful yet beautifully ripe tannins. Vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral tension provide freshness and precision, leading to a long, muscular and persistent finish. This is a serious, structured Saint-Julien built for extended ageing.
