"Easily one of the best wines of the appellation. Red rose petal fragrance, damp earth, rosemary, baking spice, sandalwood, incense, graphite and slate. Exceptional balance, deep chocolate and mint character, with lush damson and cassis fruits. Crushed violet flowers and salted cracker salinity, extremely impressive. Owner Henri Lurton has experience of making wine overseas, in Baja California, which may have given insights into viticultural techniques n the heat, but the real key here is the old vine Cabernet Sauvignon planted in the 1950s and 1960s by his late father Lucien Lurton. 100% new oak, from 8 coopers, and the meticulous approach to oak ageing care of technical director Christophe Capdeville is also important. 42% of production in the 1st wine. All the young vines, even when co-planted in the same rows were picked separately also this year." – Jane Anson

Eén van de beste Margaux van het jaar. De blend is opgebouwd uit Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot en een klein beetje Cabernet Franc. Romig en sappig. Bramen, zwarte bessen. Heel licht getoast. Hintje thee. Goede zuren. Mooi in balans. Goede lengte.
