Pierre Lurton and technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet told me that the final blend is 72% merlot and 28% cabernet franc (it was 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc during the Primeurs)

This was aged in French oak for about 18 months

cool and elegant nose offers up wispy notes of red currant and pomegranate along with hints of lavender

I am somewhat surprised by how well this gorgeous wine is showing today

This is not overly concentrated but the harmony of expression is impressive and I very much like the complex floral quality of the finale

Trinoro, Palazzi Size:6x750ml Pierre Lurton and technical directorAn energetic red, with fresh black cherry, raspberry, leather, spice and mineral flavors. The acidity and tannins sit apart for now, but all the components are in the right proportions. Merlot. Best from 2016 through 2028. 160 cases made. BS
