Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a classic Pauillac built around Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot softening the frame and lifting the aromatics. The 2021 opens restrained, with cassis, plum and blackberry threaded with violet and lilac, then turns savory in the glass toward sweet tobacco, cedar and graphite. The palate is mid-weight yet dense, with silky, fine-grained tannins, a mineral backbone of graphite and iron, and fresh acidity that keeps the dark fruit lively. The finish is long, trailing tobacco, savory herbs and singed cedar. It suits the Bordeaux drinker who values grace over sheer weight, and it rewards the collector willing to wait, since this release has considerable aging potential. Decanted for an hour or two, it already shows its balance at the table. We carry it because it captures the estate's hallmark pairing of power and elegance, and because it comes presented in a wood box that makes it a natural gift for a serious wine lover.
Pairs well with
- Beef tenderloin, red wine reduction — The wine's dense cassis core and fine-grained tannins match the richness of the beef while its fresh acidity cuts through the sauce.
- Aged Comté or Gruyère — Hard aged cheeses echo the savory herb and singed cedar notes and draw out the wine's long finish.
- Elegant milestone dinner party — Its balance of dark fruit, floral lift and mineral structure gives a refined bottle to open and toast around the table.
