1999: Vermillion red colour, delicate nose with grapey aromas, rounded, fresh attack on a fine, elegant body, traditional wine showing a soft side and whose peak will be in a few years time. |
|
2001: A lovely purple colour; a very pleasant nose with aromas of jammy blackberry and morello cherry, with toasty and chocolaty notes and a hint of mint; the attack is fresh and clean, the finish is long and pleasantly toasty. Made for keeping. |
|
2003: Pretty dark purple colour. An expressive nose with well ripened red fruits followed by more discreet woody notes. The attack is honest and the powerful feel in the mouth remains fresh, with the fruits dominating well-integrated woody touches. Already very pleasant and with a good length, this wine needs a little time to allow the tannin structure to break down. |
|
2005: Fruits and fruits ! From nose to mouth. It gives a great complexity to the wine. It’s a powerful wine, with a very rich tannins structure and an exceptional roundering. The finish is long, with cassis and chocolate aromas who gives a extraordinary flavour. Made for keeping ! |

2006 : D’une robe brillante rubis aux reflets pourpres, il présente un nez fin et complexe, le fruit domine et se marie harmonieusement avec les notes de pain d’épices, de caramel salé et de chocolat apportées par l’élevage en barriques. La structure est souple avec des tanins ronds et l’ensemble présente une belle longueur en bouche. Un cru bourgeois de belle facture. |

|
1999: A lovely dark ruby and garnet colour; ample, generous nose; firm, well presented attack with an excellent structure on rounded, mature tannins; a generous wine with great potential. |
|
2000: Dark ruby colour with touches of violet; an intense, balanced nose with aromas of very ripe red fruits and slight licorice and minty notes; the attack in the mouth develops power and roundness and the perfumes of morello cherry or blackcurrant are enveloped in notes of toasted vanilla. This wine, which brings together power and complexity, will benefit from being kept to obtain the quintessence that will be achieved when everything blends together. |
|
2001: Pretty cherry red colour slightly tinged with purple; fresh, minty nose, opening on notes of cherry and raspberry, then plums; the attack is clean and powerful, with licorice notes blending with the fruity aromas; the finish is long and intense, with vanilla. This is a wine with great power which will need a few years maturing to develop its potential and become supple. |
|
2002: Pretty ruby red colour with nuances of purple; powerful nose of rose, raspberry and blackberry, accompanied by toasted woody and chocolaty notes mixed with notes of cherry and kirsch. In the mouth, the tannins are already rounded and supple. This vintage achieves a great deal of power, breadth and body. It needs keeping for five or six years before its true value can begin to be appreciated. |
|
2003: With its intense red colour this "Vin du Soleil" blends power and finesse. The well ripened notes of red fruit blend with toasty, fine tobacco touches provided by well blended woody tones. The impressive substance develops on soft, silky tannins with a well-rounded balance of plumpness and sweetness. To keep and decant young. |

2005 : Belle robe pourpre sombre. Nez puissant et expressif sur des fruits rouges murs et confits. Les tanins sont riches, soyeux, charnus donnant beaucoup de volume et une belle longueur en finale.
