[translated from the French] The domaine has become a fixture in the Guide, and this wine, named in tribute to the paternal grandmother, has been awarded a coup de coeur. A blend f avoring Atlantic varieties (Merlot 40%, Cabernet Franc 30%, supplemented by Grenache), the 2011 underwent cold maceration. The depth of the dark, black cherry colour indicates a powerful wine. The nose surprises with its shades of cherry. The palate features mellow and smooth tannins and an excellent length with superb balance. Already approachable, this is a wine that will reward cellaring. Enjoy with all manner of roasts and fricassees. Score - 3 Stars (out of 3 (Exceptional wine)). (Guide Hachette, 2014) Show more
