Medium towards deep ruby with a purple hue. Intense, modern and expressive nose with fine notes of new oak, roasted coffee and caramel paired with ripe dark fruit – cassis, plum, dark cherry and peppery notes. The palate is dense and muscular with fine extract – grainy tannin giving structure and weight – layers of ripe dark fruit with juicy cassis and plum notes with a fine spiciness, roasted coffee and a long vigorous finish.

Since 1554, we found official writings attesting to the presence of vines farmed at the place called Les Vergnes and its domaine Beaulieu. In 1879, it became the property of Baron de Gargan, a fervent actor in the fight against phylloxera. The new methods of cultivation and wine making were set up by his manager and taken over by some famous Grands Crus Classés from Bordeaux. Purchased in 1986 to the family of the famous Maréchal Leclerc BY UniVitis, the Group has been working hard in order to produce the best wine this terroir has to offer.

Service Tips : To taste between 16 and 18°C ; ideal on red meats cooked over a charcoal fire, a leg of lamb, a roasted guinea fowl or a cheese.
