The nose is often expressive and layered, with notes of black cherry, plum, violets, truffle, cocoa, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is plush yet beautifully structured, combining ripe dark fruit, fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a long, polished finish that reflects both power and finesse.\n\nThe 2018 vintage in Bordeaux has the structure and balance to reward cellaring, and this wine should develop beautifully over the coming decade and beyond. With age, expect greater complexity, softer tannins, and more earthy, savory nuances to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComing from Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, the wine benefits from the region’s gravel, clay, and iron-rich soils, which are particularly suited to Merlot and add both richness and aromatic complexity. Harvesting is typically carried out with great care to ensure optimal ripeness, and vinification is focused on preserving purity of fruit, precision, and texture. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc brings both generous fruit and a lifted, aromatic edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, and dishes with mushrooms or truffle.
