Tasting notes
Smudgy red. Relatively pale. Firm nose – the opposite of showy. Relatively lightweight, but very classic. Not being forced into a “ripe” mould that is then belied by vintage character. Straightforward (old-fashioned) Médoc. Fresh. Dry finish. (JR)

This wine was rated, but no tasting note was given.
Very deep purplish crimson with colour right out to rim. Some slightly green notes on the nose but an impressively ripe palate attack. Lots of tannins insist and make the wine quite a candidate for ageing. Pretty impressive. Slightly furry finish. (JR)
About the producer

Situated at the highest point in the Médoc (at a huge 43 metres above sea-level), this estate is thought to be named after a spring on the site, from which Henry II supposedly drank (a “royal fountain”).
