As Stéphane Derenoncourt's right-hand man, Simon Blanchard did not wait to assert his talent. On his pocket vineyard on a very beautiful right bank terroir, from fifty-year-old vines and in a great vintage, he signs this cuvée on violets, black fruits and spices. Very good shape in the mouth, slender, rising, with a fine spicy framework and great freshness of expression. An artist's wine!
