TASTING NOTE: 

This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Connétable saw the light of day in the sixties. Over the years it has profited from all the care given to the vineyard and the increasingly severe selections. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh final.
