The 11ha estate is located right next door to 1st growth Château Pavie and is well known in wine circles to have an exceptional terroir. The vineyard holdings are composed of south facing vines on the plateau planted on limestone as well as some on the slopes of the Côte Pavie on chalky limestone and clay soils. The wine became popular since 2005 after Stephane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont, both right bank specialists, took over joint responsibility for estate management and winemaking. The vineyards are planted 75% to Merlot with the remainder Cabernet Franc, a varietal that has become more important since 2003.

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
