A luxury cuvée from this tiny, 15-acre vineyard in the heart of Léognan owned by the Garcin family, the final blend on the 2012 Garcin is 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and the rest Merlot. A big, full-throttle, full-bodied, impressive Pessac-Leognan, with notes of charcoal fires, burning embers, blueberry and blackberry fruit, this full-bodied, rich, supple wine is very impressive, beautifully textured and quite pure and long. This is a star of the vintage and certainly one of the best Pessac-Léognans. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
This 500 case "micro-cuvée" is made by the owners of nearby Haut Bergey and Clos l'Eglise in Pomerol. The vineyard is situated between Haut Bailly and Malartic Lagraviere. 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc, with 100% new oak elevage.
