Description
Grape: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc
Situated on the northern edge of the plateau of Pomerol, nestled between Château Gazin and Château La Fleur-Pétrus, this wine has been produced by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1976 for the Borderie family, owners since 1930.
Perfect for Merlot, the soils of Pomerol—clay on top of well-drained subsoil—help to create wines capable of displaying an unprecedented concentration of color and flavor.
Winemaking
In thermo-regulated concrete & stainless-steel vats. Gentle & controlled maceration & extraction.
Aging: 16-18 months in French oak barrels (30-40% new)
