    Description

    One of our favorites from the 2021 vintage. The subtle salinity and freshness imparted by the estate's terroir perfectly complement the density and depth of the delicately spiced black fruit. A truly beautiful wine!

    Tasting notes

    Opt for a tournedos with foie gras sauce. The power of this wine, combined with the aromas of the foie gras, is a perfect match.

    Owner and history

    The vineyard is located on one of the best terroirs of Saint-Émilion, the Grande Côte. The 11 hectares of vines are planted on different geological plots. One is covered with clay-limestone soil and the other with sandy-clay soil; these plots are planted with 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, respectively.

    Vinification and aging

    The vineyards are 90% cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods. The harvest at the château is longer to ensure that the best, perfectly ripe grapes are picked. The grapes that are then transformed into wines mature for over 18 months.
