Another major sleeper of the vintage from Margaux, this large estate (over 160 acres) across the Route du Vin from Lascombes has fashioned a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot in 2013. Only 40% of the crop went into the grand vin. Michel Rolland is the consultant, and the general manager is the same as that of the up-and-coming Marquis d’Alesme Becker-Marjolain de Coninck. The wine exhibits attractive plum, black cherry, licorice and forest floor notes presented in a medium-bodied, soft, silky style. Drink this well-made 2013 over the next 5-6 years.
