Softer on the palette than its bigger fuller-bodied sister wine Chateau Cantinot.  It has round soft tannins notes of tobacco, cacao, black fruit and prunes, plus a hint of fresh herbs.  Ten percent of Malbec is added to the blend of 80% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.  Made by consulting winemaker Olivier Dauga, who was recently named Winemaker of the Year 2009 in the prestigious Gault & Millau guide.
