This small, 15-acre vineyard produced a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc in 2006. Even though Stephane Derenoncourt is a magician when it comes to producing high quality wines, this effort exhibits light to medium body, diluted red currant and cherry fruit, a dusty, loamy soil component, and a short, clipped finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Nice deep colour. Nose of ripe little black fruits, a note of roast coffee bean. Full bodied attack, generous weight, a classic style at a good price.
