2022 vintage. According to the back label, this is mainly Merlot on gravelly soils ( which in general are more suitable for Cabernet Sauvignon). Rather discrete nose of timid berries and a hint of flowers. In the mouth the acidity is quite pronounced (especially in the context of the warm vintage), dominating the fruit. On the website it is sold at 31 euro (which is ridiculously high compared to 2 wines around the same price I tasted next to it : Aspirant de Beychevelle 2020 and Baron de Brane 2022), but I bought the bottle for 16,22 euro in a supermarket ( which is still not very good value in Bordeaux for this quality). Abv. 13,5%.
