This tiny property of 5 acres is planted to 45-year old Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a tiny parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon. Cropped extremely low, for maximum concentration and pure, velvet tannic structure, the scarcity of bottles (only about 325 cases are made each year), make it difficult to find, but the Bottle Shop has been able to secure an allocation.
Wine Advocate
- wa95+
This tiny, 5-acre vineyard with nearly 50-year old vines produces only 4,000 bottles from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The broodingly tannic, backward 2006 is remarkably concentrated, pure, and deep. It is an amazing tour de force in winemaking, but like nearly all the Perse 2006s, it is a massively built vin de garde with no compromises meant for serious connoisseurs and long-term cellaring. Forget it for 7-8 years, and drink it over the following 25-30.
Wine Spectator

Displays intense aromas of bright fruit and fresh flowers, with hints of just picked herbs. Full-bodied, with vanilla, berry and cherry character and chewy tannins. A solid wine. Best after 2012.
