Ein kräftiger und eleganter Grand Cru aus Saint-Émilion.
A sleeper of the vintage, this deep ruby/purple-hued 2012 possesses lots of sweet black cherry/kirsch liqueur, lead pencil shavings, spring flowers and crushed rock-like characteristics. Dense and medium to full-bodied with soft tannins, it can be drunk over the next 10-12 years. After years of unimpressive performances, this property has come under the consulting umbrella of Hubert de Bouard and – voila – we have a 2012 that takes us back to Ferrand’s glory years of the early to mid-eighties. It is owned by members of the Chandon family (who also owns the “little” champagne house of Moet-Chandon) as well as the family of Baron Biche, of the famous Bic ballpoint pen empire. The final blend was 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from a vineyard high on the plateau adjacent to Chateau Troplong-Mondot.
