Bruno Saintout owns this small St-Julien estate, with a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot -an unusual blend in an appellation with over 90% Cabernet Sauvignon planted. This is a little tight, with dominant vanilla on the nose which quickly softens to offer some classic old-school St-Julien with sappy red fruits with curls of liquorice root held by slightly austere tannins. A great lunchtime claret for medium term drinking.
