WINEMAKER NOTES
In 1962, this ancient vineyard, reduced to a few old and poorly tended vines, was completely restored with the greatest care by the present owner. The company also owns Château Le Meynieu and Domaine de la Ronceray, both in AOC Saint-Estèphe.
TASTING NOTES
This wine is powerful with melting tannins and much appreciated for its remarkable finesse and delicate bouquet.
