The nose leans toward blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite and subtle floral notes, with hints of spice and tobacco developing as it opens. On the palate, it is concentrated yet refined, with firm tannins, bright acidity and layers of dark fruit, savoury oak and mineral freshness. The 2018 vintage should age beautifully, gaining complexity over the next 10–20 years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in Pauillac on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, the wine comes from gravelly terroirs that naturally favor Cabernet Sauvignon, offering excellent drainage and helping the grapes ripen with intensity and precision. Harvest is typically carried out parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, followed by careful sorting and traditional Bordeaux vinification with temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels to build structure, texture and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs beautifully with classic Bordeaux fare such as lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast or roast game, as well as mushroom-based dishes and hard cheeses.
