A gorgeous, deep plum-ruby in colour, velvet-textured, this presents profound toasted oak character on the nose, allied to plump dark fruit, vibrant, primary berried notes, savoury intrigue, leather and spice. The vibrant fresh focus is due in part to the malolactic not having finished but texturally this is luscious, rounded, rich and will become more and more integrated during élevage - beautifully handled - bravo Louis.
"Louis Mitjavile produces this from vines planted at the end of the Saint Emilion limestone ridge. Cool soils warrant late harvesting and create great intensity"
