Burghound | The dark color a bit now with a ruby ​​heart. A nose of caramel and smoke that has a slightly weird lactic aroma that has never led to completely dispel the rich, but good, very mature flavors and a little round, supple, very detailed finish. There is a certain rusticity in the finish. Still, I loved it but it is more for those who appreciate very mature Burgundy.

Of the five first growths in the Bordeaux classifications of 1855, it is the only wine with the Pessac-Léognan appellation and is perhaps the ancestor of a classification that remains the benchmark to this day.
