Made for M&S by : Denis Lurton, Chateau Desmirail.

Grape varieties: 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is the second wine of Château Desmirail, 3em cru classe Margaux.

The vineyard is on a plateau of gravel ten metres deep. Meticulous picking followed, with vinification in oak and stainless steel vats with temperature control. This wine is a blend of vats that have been selected for supple character and fruitiness. It was aged in French oak for 10-12 months.

300 stores.


Spicy cedar with some sweet violet. Sweet violet in the mouth and a good dose of farmyard or fabric plaster, depending on your choice of xxx. Slightly bitter finish, but would be fabulous with steak.
