This is a solid effort that’s packed with blackberry fruits and dark tannins. The wine has weight and structure that is balanced with the fruitiness.
Barrel Sample: 89-91 Points -
James Suckling
Intense aromas and flavors of black cherries and juicy plums with cedar notes. Full body, soft tannins and a long, silky finish. Firm and juicy. Better in 2017.

Wine
The vineyard stretches its Sénéjac ridges on a plateau overlooking the town of Pian. The 37 hectares of vines in one piece are planted on gravelly soils typically deep Médoc.
The vines are composed of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 37% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. In 1983, the entire vineyard was drained and part of the priests fishponds to allow a better flow of surface waters. The vineyards are maintained in the traditional manner and are subject to the most attentive care.
