All the authentic charm of the 17th century château, renovated by André Lurton, is present in this wine, whose intensity and complex nose are simply captivating. Pure Sauvignon, it marries toasty aromas and citrus with pear and peach notes, echoed on the palate, where powerful fruit flavours meld with floral notes in a superb ensemble. Smooth and full-bodied, this 2005 shows delightful balance and freshness, and can as well be drunk young as laid down for five years or more. Perfect with seafood, hard cheeses and light meats.

Intensely Sauvignon nose and palate, good acidity and freshness. Still a little closed and not very expressive, the taut structure and lively finish herald a promising future.
