Smooth dark fruits, blackcurrant and blackberry, and a vibrant sweet spice aroma, completed with pastry and floral nuances. The palate is supple, generous and round, supported by fine and silky tannins and well-integrated oak.

Why You'll Love It:

You can't find a gem of 'petit' Bordeaux from a small 12 acre site—until now. Grown on the foundations of the ancient Abbey de Giley (12th century), the vineyard is surrounded by “jalles” or small criss-crossing drainage canals to help produce wines of higher quality. Today, oenologist Claude Gaudin makes extraordinary wine at this small property, using techniques such as dense planting in the vineyard and green harvesting to lower the yield, sorting at the harvest and very natural wine making for maximum expression of the fruit.
