Tasting of the "Vins et terroirs authentiques" 2026 guide:

Rating: 18/20

"Luminous, almost opaque robe, with a closed disc. The bouquet is powerful, without sacrificing elegance. Scents of red and black fruits in syrup are expressed without restraint, enveloped in vanilla and delicate woody aromas (leather, blond tobacco).

The tannic structure, still youthful but distinguished, supports and envelops a generous fruitiness. The tight texture on the mid-palate testifies to an ambitious winemaking objective. The fruity flavors are joined by cocoa and sweet spices.

A very long, smooth, and elegant finish, maintaining great sophistication despite its power. A distinguished wine with excellent aging potential. Bravo.
