Presentation
Located on the gravelly hills of Soussans, at the heart of the prestigious Margaux appellation, the vineyard spans over 37 hectares fully exposed to the sun.
"A family affair" above all, the property has benefited from the knowledge and experiences of four generations who have worked to improving the quality of the wine. To provide you with one of the most prestigious wines, Guy Portet, technical director, applies the "Cousinié" method, allowing for a generous nutritional input to the vines while significantly limiting treatments.

Tasting
A refined nose of violet, blackberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant, and sweet spices. On the palate, it appears full-bodied, fresh, slightly salty, and well persistent on the fruit, supported by fine, delicate tannins, and by perfectly integrated oak, with hints of spices and chocolate.
