Millésime & notes de dégustation

Caractéristiques du millésime

The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by climatic extremes that balanced almost miraculously. After an exceptionally wet winter and spring — with record rainfall from January to June — creating significant mildew pressure, the weather shifted on 2 June: ten days of dry, sunny conditions allowed for homogeneous and generous flowering, particularly successful for Merlot. This was followed by a remarkably hot and dry summer from late June to mid-September — with only a tenth of normal rainfall over 12 weeks — but the water-saturated soils from spring served as a providential reserve, avoiding excessive water stress. Welcome rains on 13 September refreshed the vines just before harvest, which then took place under ideal conditions until late October, with cool nights preserving aromatic freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon, with small berries and thick skins, achieved remarkable phenolic maturity.

Notes de dégustation

Deep garnet in colour, the 2016 is initially reserved, requiring time to reveal its full depth. The nose opens slowly with intense notes of crème de cassis, wild blueberries and black cherry compote, nuanced with lilacs, rose hip tea, camphor and crushed stones, with touches of Indian spices, incense and dried lavender. On the palate, the wine is electric, charged with energy and depth of flavours that defy the elegance and ethereal nature of its medium to full body. The tannins, densely pixelated in ripeness, firmly frame a myriad of black fruit and floral sparks, with an epic length on the finish. The texture is both opulent and energetic, revealing layers of perfumed black fruit in a plush, polished texture. The gravelly, rocky minerality brings definition and unmistakable Saint-Estèphe character.
