    The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.

    Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy

    Taste

    Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.

    Blackcurrant nose, coffee, smoky notes. Dense on the palate, tight tannins, lovely freshness. Very elegant.
