Dégustation

Journalist

“A great classic from Blaye, as usual this is a very capable wine. I really appreciate this style of wine. It is marked by very modern fruit notes, a very nice clarity and above all it is a very accessible wine because there is the possibility to drink it very young.” Andreas Larson.

Domain

Very fine and complex nose of candied citrus and sweet spices. A lot of precision in this wine with a caressing mouthfeel and a saline finish that reveals its limestone terroir. It can already be consumed but will easily keep for another ten years.
