RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

...has produced a balanced wine, full of structured fruit as well as a core of tannins.

93James Suckling

Some oak spices still float on top of the red and blue berries with hints of vanilla and minerals. Juicy and textured on the palate with fine tannins and a refined, long finish.

90.7CellarTracker

91Jeb Dunnuck

Spiced red and blue fruits, tobacco, cedary herbs, and some background spicy oak...medium-bodied, nicely balanced, elegant Margaux that has ripe tannins, good mid-palate depth, and outstanding length.

15Jancis Robinson

Opulent star anise and clove cloak cool cherry fruit on the nose. The palate is soft and slick in tannins, but the acidity is high and provides the backbone. Wood tannins show on the finish, together with more exotic spices.

Its vineyards are planted to 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. Around 100,000 bottles are produced annually. The second wine is Les Charmes de Kirwan.
