2021 Vintage, The estate’s traditional wine is produced using vines aged 20 years on average and is usually composed mainly of Merlot, with the complement of Cabernet Sauvignon. Therefore, the blend is generally around : 80% Merlot 20% Cabernet Sauvignon This assemblage, however, varies according to the vintage in order to favor the most supple and aromatic cuvées. Merlot gives it suppleness, fruitiness and roundness; Cabernet-Sauvignon provides structure and additional tannic density. Characteristics : This traditional Parenchère blend is generally very fleshy, with a very deeply colored robe. Characterized by a good balance between fruit and tannin, it displays distinct red fruit aromas with a long, sustained finish. Ideal drinking period : from 4 to 7 years This cuvee can be appreciated since its first year of bottling while improving for 7 years – and even ten years for the best vintages.
