In a few words ...
Situated in a particularly fortunate location, this vineyard benefits from a qualitative terroir that ensures the production of great wines. A highly concentrated profile with great fruit richness.
"Ce 2008 à la robe pourpre dense et au bouquet naissant mais profond, qui marie harmonieusement les baies noires et la torréfaction. Le palais se révèle très charpenté et fort boisé, mais sans écraser le fruit. Tout cela mérite deux ou trois ans de patience pour s'affiner. On aura alors un vin de caractère, que l'on verrait bien sur des mets truffés."

Taste
The tannins of the Pomerols are rather robust, we will wait a certain maturity to find a perfectly balanced wine. Note the presence of ripe black fruits including blackcurrant, and sometimes truffle.
