We have admired this property in Saint Seurin de Cadourne for some time and their 2012 is the best we've tasted yet. There is an impressively 'grown-up' nose here followed on the palate by fresh,...(read more)

A deep purple-edged black. First scent is incredibly appetising, like blackberry and apple pie. Full and sweet, and also an intense, pointed cassis fruit. Thick dry attack - an amazing combinatio...(read more)

The Grand Vin is 86% Cabernet (the highest percentage ever) 7% Merlot (the lowest percentage ever) and 2% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Very fine Cabernet nose, very suave, red and black fr...(read more)
