Since 1917, the Cordier family has nurtured this fourth-growth estate, transforming it into one of the Médoc’s most revered properties. Spanning 102 hectares of prime Saint-Julien vineyards, it is among the largest and most consistent estates in Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"\" data-end=\"1193\" data-start=\"1190\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium to full-bodied with an enticing nose of \u003cstrong\u003eripe blackcurrants\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eplums\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ered cherries\u003c\/strong\u003e, accented by notes of \u003cstrong\u003etobacco leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a touch of \u003cstrong\u003egraphite\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it delivers a rich core of dark fruit, wrapped in velvety tannins and balanced by vibrant acidity. A mineral undertone adds depth, while a long, smoky finish leaves a lasting impression. This vintage offers impressive structure and ageing potential but is equally charming in its early years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"\" data-end=\"1193\" data-start=\"1190\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine’s robust structure pairs beautifully with rich, flavourful dishes.
