Peter Michael Les Pavots 2014 Viré-Clessé grilled herbs and dusty violetsThe 2014 Proprietary Red Les Pavots (3,570 cases) is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 13% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot aged in mostly Taransaud barrels with a small helping of Darnajou thrown in.

This is a brilliant wine, charming, with front end loaded
