Description
A powerful and sun-kissed Premier Cru Classé from an exceptionally hot vintage, showing richness and maturity. Deep golden to amber in color, with intense aromas of honey, dried apricot, fig, and candied orange peel. Notes of caramel, toasted nuts, and exotic spices reflect the warmth of the vintage. The palate is full-bodied and opulent, with lower acidity than cooler years, giving a round, creamy texture. Flavors of baked fruit, marmalade, and spice lead to a long, rich finish.
Style & Character:
The 2003 vintage was marked by extreme heat across Europe, resulting in wines that are more opulent and forward, with softer acidity and a more oxidative, mature profile compared to classic years.
Food Pairing:
Best with foie gras, strong blue cheeses, roasted nuts, or caramel-based desserts.
