Product notes

Silico-clayey terroir with iron dross and gravelly-clayey soil

Production notes

Each plot is vinified separately using the most modern techniques, but with respect for the pure Bordeaux tradition. 16 months in oak barrels (1/2 new and 1/2 of a wine) in an underground cellar, specially designed and ideal for maturation.

Tasting notes

Very intense color, almost black. Very characteristic nose of SERGA, blackberry, blackcurrant, peony, bourbon vanilla and even old rum. The attack on the palate is firm without more, the tannin is fresh and supple. Pair with a Bordeaux flank steak, fricassee of mushrooms and Comté or tomme cheeses.

James Suckling, January 2019 (Vintage 2016)

Attractive ripe dark berries here with a wealth of flesh and ripe tannins on offer in the mouth. The palate has juicy resolve and finishes with plush but focused style. Drink from 2020.

Jancis Robinson, April 2017 (Vintage 2016)

Blueish purple. Very dry tannins on the end. Pretty severe. Is this ambition or an ill-conceived desire to make a Lalande-de-Pomerol in the mould of Vieux Château Certan?
