Merchant's description
A beautiful Single Vineyard release from JCP Maltus, established in 2005. Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 showcases marvellous blackcurrant character on the nose together with elegant mineral character. Full bodied and multi-layered on the palate. A lovely expression of the Saint-Émilion terroir.
