It appears clean and bright, with a beautiful cherry red color with violet hues. It has a medium-high intensity.
Tremendously expressive and intense. Notes of blueberries, currants, cassis, damson plums and cherries in liqueur predominate along with aromas of graphite and licorice and subtle nuances of blue flowers and undergrowth. Hot spices such as cloves and black pepper and sweet spices such as cocoa also appear.
The entrance is powerful, dense and with great richness. Its tannins are present but ripe. Very long, persistent and elegant. It exhibits a formidable acidity.
17 - 18ºC.
16 months in Allier French oak barrels.

A pioneer and precursor of what was later called “high expression wines”. After the success of his entry into a market eager for high quality wines, a host of wines began to appear that followed in the footsteps of Baron de Chirel, which were highly appreciated by the most demanding customers.
