Powerfully ripe and fruity, yet nuanced by earth, smoke and blossom, this is a big, bold red with considerable finesse and style. Sourced from the single vineyard Les Plâtrières—named for its ample gypsum, or plaster-stone deposits—it's deeply concentrated, yet gorgeously mineral and lifted too. Framed by a rich coating of firm, furry tannins, it's a wine that will improve well through 2035 and hold further.
