Ideally located on two hills of gravel, well exposed between the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, the terroir benefits from an ideal microclimate which allows the noble grape varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to express all their qualities.

Traditional vinification in Médoc, characterized by long fermentations and macerations (3 weeks) before aging for 12 months in barrels and oak tuns.
Deep red in color with garnet reflections presents a traditional Bordeaux bouquet of cassis accompanied by carefully toasted aromas. The mouth, full and round, continues on a finish with soft and silky tannins. A real pleasure !!! Pairings with Bordeaux flank steak, grilled vegetables and duck breast.
Owned by the Pagès family, this rich wine is dense and structured. It has layers of dusty tannins and full black-currant fruit from the 60% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Drink this firm wine with great fruit from 2023.
