La Bessane is a small property in the Margaux appellation. It differs from others by its atypical grape varieties, with a large percentage of Petit Verdot, which creates a wine out of the ordinary. This choice of grape varieties is a risky bet for a winemaker in the Medoc.
Very strong aromas of fruit, especially ripe blackcurrants, but also hints of wood & spices.
Rich in tannins, this is a wine to lay down.
