Winemaker Notes
The richness of these 2019 wines was already impressive. The Cabernets were showing silky tannins and the Merlots were generously aromatic and well-balanced whilst maintaining this remarkable richness. All the ingredients were indeed there to produce a vintage worthy of an 18/19 tandem!

Blend: 55% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc

The Barrel Sample for this wine is above 14% ABV.

Rated 94 Points James Suckling
A juicy, flavorful red with blackberry and blueberry character. Some dark chocolate and walnuts, too. It’s full-bodied and layered with hazelnut and spice undertones. Velvety and poised.

Rated 94 Points Decanter
The last vintage under Jean Gautreau, and it's a great one to remember him by. Serious, with shoulders and muscles, reflecting the excellent gravel and clay soils at this spot of the Médoc in St Seurin de Cadoune. This is a long-term wine with blackcurrant and blackberry and well-formed tannins.
