Tasting Note
Perfumed Pomerol: concentrated black cherry, plum, dark chocolate, rose oil, truffle and mocha with eucalyptus and spice. Silky, dense, fine‑grained tannins and saline minerality lead to a long, layered finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast lamb, braised beef short ribs, mushroom risotto, aged sheep or cow cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, Korean BBQ short ribs, soy-braised pork belly, miso-glazed eggplant.

Production Method
Hand-harvested with double sorting; fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless-steel vats with gentle extraction; aged 16–18 months in French oak (≈50% new).

Vineyard Info
4.5 ha Pomerol estate in the Moueix portfolio (acquired 1999), formerly Certan-Giraud; old Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines on gravel and blue clay ('crasse de fer') soils.
