1er Grand Cru Classe St. Emilion

If you thought that Tony Ballu and Daniel Alard had reached a peak with their achievements with their outstanding 2000 then you would be wrong. This is a sensational wine that is very difinitely terroir driven. Deep and rich in colour and taste, this hugely concentrated wine has terrific complexity and potential for a very long life. Brilliant! Drink 2010 to 2025.

This estate was, until 2001, owned by the Lurton family. It has consistently produced top level St. Emilion wines for many years. The vineyard covers 20 hectares planted with 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet-Franc.
