Winemaker Notes
In 2017 we decided that the Cabernet from Champoux haslong been established and that we should recognize that onthe bottle. Hence the creation of a full new line-up of singlevineyard wines featuring our signature grapes. The 2017 Vintage is already shaping up to be vintage with a focus on elegance and freshness.

Rated 92 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Rich expressions exuberant blackberry and dark cherry fruit, elegant oak nuances and stylish dark red tones. Full-bodied in the mouth, with youthful yet still rigid tannins, there are plummy tones and a robust fruit core that oozes over the mid-palate with a tannic edge. The wine has finesse and the most prominent structure of the range of Cabernets, ending with a long, sophisticated finish. This wine has an elegance that will reward the patience of a decade in the cellar.

…Has pretty cassis, tobacco leaf, savory herbs, and chocolate notes as well as medium to full-bodied richness on the palate. It shows the forward, elegant, seamless style of the vintage beautifully. And despite already drinking nicely, it’s going to evolve for 10-15 years on its balance.
