93pts James Suckling

Evident cabernet characters stand out thanks to dried tobacco, rhubarb, roasted red peppers, tapenade and cedar notes with fruit in the background. Medium-bodied, this has fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish. Quite a linear wine with the assertive, powerful voices of cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

Tasting Notes

A blend of quintessential Bordeaux varieties, elegant on the nose, with toasted notes and spicy undertones resulting from its ageing in oak barrels. It has a powerful attack, followed by a lengthy, full-bodied mid-palate with excellent tannins and a long, lingering finish.

Winemaker Notes

Jean Leon set sail for the USA as a stowaway from the French port of Le Havre, where he was soon discovered by a sailor who decided to help him stay hidden. This Reserva pays homage to the silent complicity of a stranger who would change Jean Leon's life forever.

Made from Cabernet Sauvignon and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc, this limited-production wine is produced from a unique 12-hectare terroir bearing the same name.

VIneyard Notes

Vinya Le Havre holds the Qualified Single Estate Wine certification, meaning, in winemaking terms, that it is produced from a vineyard with specific features that confer unique characteristics to the wine and a microclimate that favours its maximum expression.
