Country: France / Clos du Grand Carquelin

Winery: Château des Jacques / Moulin-à-Vent

Beautifully perfumed, this has swathes of ripe cherry and plum, with a hint of wood aging. The balance is already well established, with a line of crisp acidity that sits behind the rich, sweet fruit. With its tannins, this needs to age for at least three years.
