This 42-hectare estate, which flourishes on clay and sandy-gravel soils, is distinguished by its powerful and rich wines. The property is in conversion to organic and biodynamic agriculture. The vinification is carried out in stainless steel vats and without sulfur, the fermentations take place under the action of indigenous yeasts, without chemical contributions. The maturation lasts from 12 to 14 months, in barrels or in tuns, in concrete eggs or in stainless steel tanks. Notes of plum, blackberry, blackcurrant are complemented by subtle notes of spices.
Vintage 2024 blend: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.
iDealwine En Primeur Tasting Note: As a reminder, this is the only biodynamic wine in Pessac-Léognan, which means that the grapes ripen earlier than at other châteaux. In the end, yields (30 hectolitres/hectare) were not as catastrophic as the teams might have expected. Very pure fruit, harvested at the right time, a balanced nose, floral and delicate, fine. On the palate, the wine is easy to drink from the time of our primeur tastings, with a purity of fruit characteristic of the Haut-Bergey style, and a delicate, bitter finish. This wine was aged in foudres, amphorae and concrete eggs. A real favorite. “
