Tasting notes
« Toast and ripe spice go well with the warm red-berry fruits in this wine. It is rich, layering new wood and fine tannins along with a firm structure. Drink this wine, with its good potential, from 2019. This is one of seven château in the Médeville family and 2014 was their 188th harvest. »
