A food-friendly right-bank Bordeaux, ripe and approachable but not lacking in structure.
Production
Grown on 30 hectares of vineyards, planted on chalky/clay soils. The average age of the vines is approximately 30 years, adding to the wine's complexity. In case you are wondering, Cuvée Eva is named in honour of Jean Galineau's daughter.
