Château La Confession 2023

Aromas of dark berries, cherries, rose petals and licorice introduce the 2023 La Confession, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy, layered wine that concludes with a mineral finish. This estate on the plateau and north slope of Saint-Émilion has stopped deleafing and green harvesting in the vineyards and is now blending earlier and refining cooperage choices in the cellar.
