"A little more fresh and lively than the Ciel du Cheval, the 2014 Champoux has sensational purity in its lifted bouquet of cassis, black raspberries, violets and spring flowers. There's a touch of graphite that develops with time in the glass, and the wine has fine, polished tannin and an elegant, silky texture. It doesn't have the heft of the Ciel du Cheval but shines for its purity and elegance."

"Combines a refined structure with a rich and polished texture, showing red currant, orange zest and dark chocolate notes that lead to firm but ripe tannins. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Best from 2018 through 2023"
