The Grand Vin has the highest proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. 94%, augmented by 2% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot cropped at 33hl/ha. It has a pure, well-defined bouquet with blackcurrant, fresh strawberry and cedar that is tightly enmeshed with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft, almost understated opening. There are pleasant tobacco and dried herb notes infusing the black fruit and whilst the finish does not possess the structure of recent vintages, it expresses the Cabernet fruit with aplomb and there is something easy drinking, almost languid on the finish (not meant in a pejorative sense.) Fine. Tasted April 2014. 89-91 points

This is very racy with a pretty purity and length. Full body with minerals and stone. Muscular. 94% cabernet sauvignon with the rest merlot and petit verdot. Very, very impressive from here.91-92 points
