Jean-Claude Berrouet is a consultant here, and he has brought his experience of vinifying 40 years at Ch. Pétrus to bear on this jewel of a property, whose vineyards lie a few hundred metres away from Pétrus, across the road from Vieux Ch. Certan. The wine is richly purple-ruby, with meaty, substantially ripe, spicy aromas of great complexity and perfume. Palate is powerfully built, with dense fruitiness, creamy texture and fantastic length and lift to finish. The huge potential of this superbly placed property is shining brightly in this 2017 vintage (for drinking 2023-2032+).
