Fusion born in 2001 of a know-how with his elder brother, Grand Cru classé A of Saint-Émilion, Cheval Blanc, this wine of dark color look almost ink « zoot pant » tango dancer, inspires the choice of a piece of the same vintage-sounding local to illustrate it.

The ample and complex bouquet around the aromas of rip prune, cassis, roasted cocoa and cedar with a vanilla twist, explodes vivacity to the nose and is consistent with the orchestration of the composition between the flights of accordion, arrangements of keyboards and electro twists crowned by the « tanguistes » voices.

Insolent this great wine passion is in the image of the horse of the Highlands Argentine who calls it, an attack vivid and fresh, the rhythm, fluidity with a palette of taste to mid-palate on black cherry, chocolate milk vanilla with a final on the almond: the enjoy tasting of this discovery is in response to electrical energy vaporized by progressive and contemporary music in pairing with this wonderful vintage in the southern hemisphere.
