The soils are shallow clay over solid limestone, and the barrel cellars run into caves quarried out of the rock. Cabernet Franc plays an unusually large part in the blend, alongside Merlot, and the vineyard is worked parcel by parcel with the whole crop picked by hand. Annual production is measured in a few thousand cases at most, making this the smallest of the leading Right Bank estates, and every bottle is spoken for long before it is released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBest given many years in a cool cellar and a long decant; plain roast meats or game are the safest company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
