The estate is notable not only for its fairytale castle but also for its impressive underground cellars carved into limestone rock. In these cellars, at a natural constant temperature, the estate's wines age for years in oak barrels. The vineyards are dominated by Merlot grapes, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The limestone soil provides the beverages with exceptional minerality, a firm tannic structure, and elegance.
Their calling card is a rich, complex wine intertwining aromas of dark cherries, plums, blackcurrants, and subtle toasted oak. Although the beverage is aged traditionally, modern technologies help preserve its fruitiness and silky tannins.
This is a true gastronomic companion. Classic wine from the Fronsac appellation pairs perfectly with grilled beef steak, lamb, venison stews, and aged hard cheeses. For a gourmet experience at home, serve the wine with pâtés and charcuterie from our wine snacks section.
