This 48+-acre vineyard is owned by Dr. Alain Raynaud, who has been one of the spiritual and qualitative leaders of the quality revolution that has taken place in Pomerol and St.-Emilion. Situated within the Libourne city limits, this vineyard possesses some of the oldest vines (50 years) of St.-Emilion.
Blackberry, espresso and lightly toasted oak character. Full-bodied, with lots of fruit and intense oak. A bit too much but I like it a lot.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
