Overall a mild growing season interrupted by a bad frost in mid-April. In 2000, Christian Le Sommer came in as enologist. The blend this year was 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 10% Alicante and has an intense, ruby-garnet color. The bouquet is evolved, with slightly vegetal hints with light balsamic, ethereal sensations and notes of kirsch. The mouthfeel has an excellent acidity, slightly rough tannins and a nice, youthful body that still has some rough edges. Bottles produced: 23,000.
