Robert Parker Rating 93-95
A 5-acre jewel purchased by Gerard and Chantal Perse recently, this vineyard is planted on pure limestone soils above Pavie-Decesse and Pavie-Macquin. The average age of the vines is 45 years. Made from microscopic yields of 15 hectoliters per hectare, the 2003 (4,000 bottles produced) is a blend of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied effort of formidable intensity. With provocative notes of melted licorice, incense, Asian spices, and blackberry as well as cherry liqueur, it possesses moderately high tannin but low acidity. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.
Wine Spectator Rating 89-91
Essence of crushed raspberries and wild strawberries with just a hint of dark chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, with a lovely silky tannin structure but slightly hollow on the midpalate. Like it. Wait and see. Very close to 92-94
