This assemblage, however, varies according to the vintage in order to favor the most supple and aromatic cuvees. Merlot gives it suppleness, fruitiness and roundness; Cabernet-Sauvignon provides structure and additional tannic density. The two complementary grape-varieties will give this wine a greater complexity. Cabernet Franc is particularly appreciated for its aromatic finesse, and Malbec for its colour and its spicy character.
