<p>91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot. Violets, redcurrant and bitter chocolate on the nose. The palate is vertiginously deep – you get the sense that only the surface is currently visible. Cassis and a touch of fresh mint on the palate, with powerful tannins, which are finely extracted but muscular. A sense of saline tension runs through the palate. 7,000 cases of the <i>grand vin</i> will be produced. 14.3% abv. 81 IPT.</p>
"This fabled property was acquired by Madame Loubat in 1917 – she was famously the owner of Petrus and that thread of family connection between Moueix and Loubat continued through to 1962, when the Moueix family began farming the property. It remains, surprisingly, under the radar. Once again, it is 100% Merlot and made from two tiny plots (a third clay/loam, two-thirds deep gravel/clay). A nose of rich raspberry fruit with serene poise. The palate is crunchy and precise, the pure red berry fruit framed by particularly elegant, fruit-coated tannins. Lots of tightly wound potential here. Very classy, not at all showy – very Moueix.Corney & Barrow Score 18Recommended drinking from 2032 - 2045£390/CASE OF 6 BOTTLES, IN BOND UK£400/CASE OF 3 MAGNUMS, IN BOND UK£305/CASE OF 1 DOUBLE MAGNUM, IN BOND UK"
