Yields are down here, due not from frost but wet weather during flowering. But Jean-Charles Cazes was not the first to state the benefit of a smaller crop in a late vintage like 2021, which helped the grapes to fully ripen. There is a bit more grand vin this year as some replanted plots come on stream. This has a nicely compact palate, with plenty of cedary Pauillac notes and a very pleasant finish. This is a very pleasing and precise package.
