about this wine:
Merlot flourishes here, rather than the Cabernet, thanks to Soil rich in clay, and Jeremy manipulates the grape in order to deliver wines that are "succulent, never over-extracted, and full of charm and distinction."

90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. Situated between Trotanoy and Latour à Pomerol and planted to 34 year old vines. Gravel rich and sandy-gravelly soils. Serious vineyard management including debudding, deleafing, desuckering, crop thinning and manual harvesting techniques are the rule. Total yields for 2009 were 34 hls/ha. The color is super dark inky purple almost black and opaque. A beautiful perfume of black fruits with an underlying loamy soil earthy profile lifts from the glass of this pretty wine. There's power in the densely packed core of black fruits in this wine. It's complex with pretty fruit fresh earth and underlying minerality that makes this wine really compelling.

Dominated by Merlot (95%) blended with a small amount of Cabernet Franc (5%), with 14.5% natural alcohol, it exhibits an opaque blue/purple color as well as a bouquet reminiscent of blueberry pie intermixed with espresso beans, black raspberries, charcoal and graphite. Full-bodied, thick and juicy with undeniable purity, a layered mouthfeel and abundant but sweet tannins, this exceptional Pomerol should be ready for prime time drinking in 5-8 years and last for at least three decades. Unfortunately, there are just over 1,300 cases produced.
This estate has been coming on strong over the last decade and the 2009 is their finest effort to date.

Good bright red-ruby. Wild, meaty aromas of black raspberry, roast coffee, minerals, toffee and smoky oak; very Pomerol. Pliant and sweet, with superb depth and an utterly seamless texture to the flavors of black raspberry, mocha and roast coffee. As plush as this Pomerol is, it easily maintains its shape. Dusty tannins spread out to saturate the palate on the long, generous finish. A superb result for this property.
