Winemaker Notes
"A blend of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is made from extremely low yields of 35 hectoliters per hectare, and is bottled unfiltered after spending 18 months in 100% new French oak. A sleeper of the vintage, the 2000 reveals a saturated purple color along with gorgeous aromas of cassis liqueur, black cherries, minerals, and flowers. As the wine sits in the glass, smoky new oak notes make an appearance. With terrific density, richness, and purity, it should drink well for a decade." - WA

This is the land that gives personality to a vintage and it was the work of Sylviane Garcin-Cathiards, she brings the wine to their full potential. After taking over the property in January 1997, with her experience at Chateau Haut-Bergey in Pessac-Léognan, she redesigned the winery.
The soil is clay and gravel with lifts dirt iron, which gives the wine a special character, that is often found in Pomerol.
Located on the hillside, most of the vineyard extends southwest of buildings, breaking the famous Pomerol plateau. Its area is 6 hectares. It is composed of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc.
