TASTING NOTES
The result of a legendary vintage, this wine is a deep, brilliant ruby red and wonderfully concentrated, with garnet tints. The generous nose offers elegant notes of overripe Merlot, with a floral touch (violets), a hint of ink and well-bred oak, and slight vanilla flavours resulting from ageing in barrels of excellent quality.

TASTING NOTES
Elegant, intense hue of deep garnet, the powerful and complex bouquet offering up an array of aromas from red-berried fruit, damp earth and a touch of mocha to toasty notes - the fruit of excellent wine craftsmanship. The palate is rich, balanced and has a texture of the finest class, wrapped in extract as creamy as it is silky and perfectly smooth. This is without a doubt one of the best wines of the 2012 vintage in this prestigious appellation.

Cellaring potential: 5 - 10 years.

VINTAGE 2014
TASTING NOTES
A sustained deep red, nearly black, in hue with a generous bouquet in which the fruit – blackberry and blackcurrant – still predominates, but with complex layers of spice and a hint of toast. The warm, spicy and well-integrated palate offers generous, creamy extract, underpinned by smooth tannins – a sign of careful craftsmanship. A very fine wine, the product of an outstanding terroir.
AGEING
To drink from 2016.

TASTING NOTES
Château Perron 2015 is a beautiful garnet-red hue with deep purple tints. The nose delivers a powerful, rich bouquet covering a broad aromatic array of red fruit, cinnamon, café and liquorice; a Lalande of fine complexity. The palate offers an impression of harmony, roundness and suppleness over a velvety tannin base. A subtle wine, full of finesse. The result of an excellent vintage, it will gain even greater complexity after a few years' ageing in the bottle – for your delectation and delight.
AGEING
To drink from 2017. Cellaring potential: 5 - 10 years.
