Druivensoorten: Cabernet Franc, Merlot

Deze kleine cru van 4.50 ha is eigendom van Jean-Phlippe Janoueix en is prachtig gelegen naast Château Le Pin, in het gehucht Catusseau. Zeer lage rendementen (35hl/ha), dubbele triage, vinificatie in vier open houten cuves en fermentatie in nieuwe eiken vaten dragen allemaal bij tot deze top-Pomerol.

“Floral vanilla and ripe cherries arrive immediately, followed by a mid palate crush of round-textured plum and licorice. The finish is juicy with calm, cushy tannins. Give this seven to eight years for the oak to integrate and it will be even better. The wine was produced from blending 95.5% Merlot and 4.5% Cabernet Franc, reaching 13.5% alcohol.” – 90/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
