Read moreThis estate stands out not only for its urban terroir but also for its bold production decisions. It is led by the famous Guillaume Pouthier, who introduced innovative methods to the region: grapes are often fermented with whole clusters (which is unusual in Bordeaux), and aging utilizes amphorae in addition to oak. The vineyards are dominated by the Cabernet Franc variety, giving the wine an incredible floral aroma and silky texture.
The beverage features a rich ruby color, deep aromas of blackberries, violets, tobacco, black tea, and crushed stones. The use of amphorae preserves pure fruitiness and imparts elegance to the tannins. This is a wine characterized by flawless harmony and a long, mineral finish.
