A polished Fronsac with sun-warmed blackberry, cocoa and vanilla over an earthy mineral note. The palate is generous yet composed, with smooth tannins carrying the dark fruit into a long, gently savoury finish. Its balance of ripeness and structure suits roast beef, braised lamb, mushrooms or an unhurried dinner built around deeply flavoured dishes.

Blackberry, mulberry and dark plum meet dried herbs, cocoa and a restrained touch of toast. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with fine tannins bringing shape to juicy dark fruit and a subtle graphite note. Balanced rather than heavy, it closes with quiet savoury detail, gentle spice and a polished finish.
