The established négociant Mähler-Besse produced it from sustainably grown grapes. 70% of them are Merlot, followed by 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine looks filtered, clear, with a deepish ruby core and a moderately clear rim turning the clock towards garnet.smells moderately intensely of plum pudding and rye bread, with hints of warm kirsch sneaking up from its core, framed by a wafer of vanilla and a bit of earth and musk.
