ABV: 14%

Region: Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France

Viticulture: Sustainable, soil-focused farming. The 19-hectare vineyard forms a largely contiguous walled estate on the highest western section of the Saint-Émilion plateau. Planted mainly to Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, on asteriated limestone and clay-limestone soils. Vines contributing to the grand vin average around 35 years. 

Winemaking: Whole, uncrushed berries are fermented parcel by parcel in small temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. Gentle extraction through manual punch-downs. Aged for 14–18 months, generally with 40–60% new French oak, complemented by used barrels and a small proportion of amphorae.
