The Médoc grape varieties and soils give us wines with superb, dense, dark hues, ranging from deep garnet to ruby-crimson, taking on brick red shades with orange tints with age. Very intense and expressive aromas with powerful notes of black fruit such as blackcurrants and blackberries. In older wines, the nose develops a spicy bouquet of liquorice, leather and marshmallow mingled with the vanilla scents created by well-integrated oak. Harmonious, elegant and velvety, with smooth, round tannins, that can be appreciated from the wine's entry to the palate through to the finish. These are delightfully full-bodied wines with great aromatic persistence.

The 2022 du Retout exhibits aromas of minty cassis, licorice and bay leaf, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate framed by sweet, powdery tannins. It's another strong effort from this dependable Cabernet Sauvignon-based Haut-Médoc. This year, it's a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot.
