The origin of the name comes from the statue of the dragon which dominates the magical terroir of Saint-Emilion, perched on the promontory where the estate is located. \r\nLe Dragon has a beautiful vermilion colour. The nose is wonderfully fresh, with hints of cherry and raspberry. The ripeness of the fruit comes through wonderfully when the wine is swirled in the glass. It starts off quite smooth and soft on the palate, going on to reveal rich tannin that is well-integrated even at this early stage. The aftertaste is relatively long. It is also appetizing and gives every indication of fine balance.\u00a0\r\nThe Climate\r\n\r\nThe year 2015 appears to be the warmest and sunniest, throughout our country, since the beginning of meteorological statistics.

The harvest began in September under a clear blue sky.
