Dark strawberries and fresh blossom on the nose, plenty of finesse and a silky texture; a hint of black pepper on the palate, with vibrant red fruit beyond; good weight, serious structure, well integrated oak, very long with grainy tannins on a silky finish. As usual, the assemblage of this unique wine is a mystery, as the elderly former proprietor kept no records of such things. However, we do know that the vines are 50+ years of age, and we suspect the vineyard contains some of the fine old varieties that are now very rare in Bordeaux.
In 1999 Luc Thienpont bought an exceptional 2 ha plot situated next to Deyrem Valentin in Margaux. A large percentage of the vineyards are planted with 80 year old ungrafted Cabernet Sauvignon vines producing a vastly concentrated wine that Luc ages in 100% Seguin Moreau oak. Only half of his purchase is considered by Luc to be good enough for the ‘Grand Vin’. Complex and silky, the wines show remarkable balance, length and charm.
