Note di degustazione
The 2011 Champoux Vineyard is flat out gorgeous. Elegant, perfumed, layered and complex, with lots of sweet currants, licorice, underbrush and graphite, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ultra fine tannin and a great finish. A complete, impeccably put together and balanced wine, it can be enjoyed anytime over the coming 10-15 years.

52% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. Juicy yet very dry and astringent on the palate. Quite hard edged and chewy. Forceful and full of personality but verging on severe. (RH)
(54% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon): Dark red-ruby. Aromas of redcurrant, cocoa powder and rose petal, plus a whiff of game; higher-pitched today than the 2011 Ciel du Cheval. Suave, seamless and sweet but showing outstanding grip as well, with the wine’s inner-mouth floral character providing early sexy appeal and an impression of energy. Best today on the extremely long, perfumed, rising back end, where the tannins fold smoothly into the wine’s fruit. This is splendid.
