This estate, owned by the Gervoson family, is recognized for crafting consistently high-quality wines that offer both immediate pleasure and impressive aging potential.

Tasting Profile

• **Color:** A deep, intense garnet red.
• **Nose:** The bouquet is complex and inviting, featuring concentrated aromas of dark, ripe fruit (blackcurrant, boysenberry), layered with notes of cedar, pencil lead, and a distinct hint of crushed black pepper spice.
• **Palate:** The entry is rich and full-bodied. The wine boasts an elegant structure, showcasing fine, silky tannins that lead to a complex and well-balanced finish. It perfectly marries the power of Cabernet Sauvignon with the roundness of Merlot, making it a stellar investment for your cellar.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

To fully experience the depth of this Pessac-Léognan, we recommend serving it at 61-63°F (16-17°C) after decanting for up to two hours for younger vintages. Its structure demands rich, savory dishes.

• **Ideal Pairings:** Premium grilled steak, rack of lamb, truffled risotto.
• **Cellaring:** While enjoyable now, this wine has a long life ahead and will beautifully evolve over the next 10-20 years.
