Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 95+ RP.
"This was the breakthrough vintage for this fabulous terroir that had been under-exploited for so many years. A collaboration between Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt, this medium to full-bodied, pure blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc reveals aromas reminiscent of a liqueur of crushed rocks, black currants, and raspberries. The tannins are still present, and the wine is firmer than I expected, but it is loaded. Made in a distinctive, singular, elegant style." Wine Advocate #189, Jun 2010
Provenance: The Chameau Cellar
Notes: Very top shoulder, scuffed capsule, lightly scuffed and nicked label.
