Magnificent deep colour. Sumptuous. Well balanced with
round but present tannins.
This is a big wine to accompany the sturdy cuisine of
Perigord – duck and red meat, especially lamb. The
winemaker recommends decanting one hour before
serving

daughter and son-in-law are now in charge of the estate, carrying on his traditions.
