"A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc that copes effortlessly with a weighty 14% of alcohol due to the freshness of its crushed blackberry fruit and floral overtones. The wine is very elegant, with delicious pure grenadine on the palate, good concentration and fine tannins. Another example of why Teyssier is one of our best selling clarets."
Considered as a modern day St. Emilion is becoming a great favorite of new but well oriented to fine wine lovers. “A really dark hue here, very dense right out to the rim. It has a slightly reserved but very promising nose, with dark fruits and fading notes of honeyed oak. Nice weight on the palate, creamy, but quite cool in style, before it shows a denser, more meaty side through the midpalate. This has a fine, firm style with a good backbone of acidity and ripe tannins at the finish”. WD at CIVB 2007 Tasting. From the house that produces the outstanding Le Dome.

“90-92 Points. A lifted, floral nose minerally with violets. Very feminine and seductive. The palate is incredibly pure, with bouquets of violets and black fruits. Lovely balance and harmony. Caresses the palate. Gorgeous.”
James Suckling, Wine Spectator
“90 POINTS - Pure black cherry berry aromas lead to a full body, with silky tannins and a concentrated, fruity finish. A pretty young red. “

“93 Points. Manages to smell soft and cuddly whilst in the mouth it is firm and assertive. Bacon fat, tobacco, black olives and cassis. There’s nothing sharp, green or ungainly about this. In the mouth it is well paced, rounded, soft and inviting before excellent creamy tannins unfurl and envelop. There’s a pleasing persistence as well as a graphite and meaty edge to the finish. Simultaneously serious and delicious. Very good - Excellent. “
