    The team's opinion

    Le millésime 2021 renoue avec l'esthétique des grands bordeaux des années 1990 et 2000 : un profil digeste, tendu, terrien et d'une remarquable pureté de sève. Bâti sur une trame fraîche et des tanins serrés, il est accessible après aération mais récompensera une garde patiente sur 8 à 15 ans (2026–2040).
