Tasting Notes
This is loose-knit with a lovely mocha nose. Very inviting. The mouth follows with broad, sweet fruit. And some depth. This is impressive, and keeps on going. Complete.

The 2014 Les Cruzelles is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc picked between 24-29 September. It has a little more ripeness on the nose compared to the La Chenade, very perfumed with subtle violet and iris aromas, later a hint of orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin with ample blackberry and bilberry; grainy in texture with a pleasurable marine/oyster shell element lending personality on the finish. This is very fine.
