Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Poesia comes bounding out with exuberant notes of redcurrant jelly, Morello cherries, and mulberries giving way to a fantastically floral undercurrent of violets and lavender plus a touch of crushed stones. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly wound with firm, grainy tannins and beautifully knit freshness, finishing long and perfumed. The blend is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, with pH 3.40.

Located near to Château Peby-Faugères, with plenty of natural concentration in these clay over limestone soils, and naturally low ph. In the glass this translates into cassis, liquorice root, anis, fennel, cocoa bean, slate, tight tannins. Needs skilful handling, which the team here has clearly done well, but be aware that it should be given a few years to soften. 9.5ha, with many young vines.
