A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 L'Hêtre is a wine of real class and energy. Aromatic and floral on the nose with dark cherry, blood orange and pomegranate, it builds on the palate in layers with crisp mineral focus and beautifully detailed tannins and the terroir singing through the finish. As noted by Fiona Morrison MW from Thienpont, “The 2023 shows the quality of a top vintage which highlights the qualities of our patchwork of limestone and clay.” Ready to drink now, it will no doubt reward time in the cellar.
