This Medoc wine has a lots of blackfruit backbone with Cassis on the forefront. The winery is located in the Northern Areas of the Left Gironde, tThe soil is mostly clay, which Cabernets hate but Merlots prefer. Cabernet is grown in small patches of land where gravel is found but the area plants more Merlots compared to the other Left-bank Bordeaux and adds more percentage of it to their wine blends. This causes their wines to have a richer texture but milder tannins with plums and violets on the nose. Oak aging gives it sweet spices and vanilla flavors.
