No barriques are used in the production of this soft, sweet-tasting Bordeaux, which is fine with us. Vinification is made in the property's original concrete tanks, and only a medium-length maceration is sought so that the wine's rich and ripe fruit is never disturbed by a heavy overlay of tannins. The wine is aged in tank only, keeping the fruit pure and vibrant till release. In this age of monster Bordeaux, it is very nice to find a wine like this--90% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon, very aromatic and bright and perfect for consumption now and over the next three years.
