It is made from a blend of the same grapes as the first wine, but with a slightly lower proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is a wine that is more approachable and less tannic than the first wine, but still retains the richness and complexity of a great Saint-Emilion.The red 2022 is a serious, full-bodied wine produced from specific parcels that typically offer more approachability than the first wine
