Mr. Enjalbert, the new owner, bought with his wife, the estate for one year. This experimented wine grower learnt the various techniques of the wine by travelling through the French and European wine-producing regions. Fascinated by his job, he has heart to produce a wine with the biggest care. Raised in the tradition of Bordeaux, this 2009 expresses harmoniously, with discretion: the discreet wooded underlines, the notes of crystallized red berries, the round mouth persists on the fruity by making a soft and fresh impression at once.
