DESCRIPTION

A powerful and harmonious terroir wine. Signature blend with Philipp Schwander,
Swiss Master of Wine, combining Tannat, Merlot, Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet
Sauvignon, aged 12 months in French barrels. The nose oers a dense bouquet of black
fruits and berries, with cocoa, musk and cigar box notes. The palate is dense, complex
and velvety, with balance and length that give it its nobility. It is a wine that can be kept
or enjoyed now, oering a sublime experience every time.

VINTAGE

Thanks to low yields, the 2017 vintage in Gensac produced reds of great intensity,
combining aromatic power, silky tannins and balanced freshness.
