Tasting notes (in French) by Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier of the World 2000
Elle déroule un fruit juteux et abondant. C'est le merlot avenant et caressant à l'état pur, porté par un bel élevage sous bois qui souligne sa dimension fruitée et le porte vers les sommets. Sapide, franc et suave, voici un Bordeaux comme on les aime, affranchi de tout artifice, juste tendu vers notre bonheur à tous!
Olivier Poussier, Meilleur Sommelier du monde 2000
DECO's translation:
Generous juicy fruits. The Merlot is pure, supported by a taste of beautiful brushy soil, that offers the wine dimension and complexity. Powerful and direct, yet charming and elegant, this is a Bordeaux style that we love. Without any artificial elements, this wine is about happiness to all.
Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier of the World 2000
