Wine-grower’s word
" Cette vigne est constituée de 10 hectares proche du vignoble familial. Dans le verre, un vin grenat intense, qui livre des parfums généreux de fruits rouges mûrs. Ce fruité soutenu, accompagné d'une petite note animale, se prolonge dans une bouche ample, solidement bâtie et très longue."

" Aeration confirms first impressions. Bordeaux traditional blends are perfectly identifiable. Attack in mouth is open, clear and smooth; merlots’ quality is without a hitch: its roundness and juice’s purity. Cabernet structures the wine very softly and increases with a fine bitterness. The wine stays with a fine chillness, and reveals an incredible balance with a very elegant tannins base. The middle of the mouth is mellow and gourmet. The finish is long and delicate. "

" The plots with which we elaborate Côte de Bordeaux are divided into various lands, which create the strength of Darlan’s Estate. This wine, with a Cabernet-Sauvignon dominant feature, is gourmet and strong, the Merlot harvested in 2000 brings all necessary intensity. "
