	Rated 94 - A breakthrough effort for this 25-acre vineyard in St.-Christophe des Bardes, this blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc boasts the talented Stephane Derenoncourt as its consultant. The dense ruby/purple hue is accompanied by aromas and flavors of sweet cherries, cassis, pain grille, and spice. Full-bodied with moderately high but sweet, well-integrated tannin, this beauty should age effortlessly for 15 or more years. Robert Parker
