Tasting notes

A dazzling, luminous red hue embellished by deep red glints. From the first nose, the wine is expressive, complex, delightful and so typical of this vineyard. This is further revealed on swirling the wine, with hints of black fruit, blackcurrant and notes of mocha appearing. On tasting, the first impression is powerful, with clear structure. Roundness follows immediately and gives an almost creamy feel on the palate, where fruit is accompanied elegantly by fine-grained tannins. There is a delicious contrast between the wine’s compactness and its freshness, that carries the wine through to a finish that unfolds majestically like the feathers of a peacock’s tail. With a captivating palate and an ethereal persistence, this 2025 vintage offers us with the expression of La Mission at its peak.
