THE WINEMAKER
Winemaker Jerome Aguirre uses a blend of oak, cement and stainless steel tanks for vinification and ageing in order to bring the best of each element to the wine. Situated on the banks of the Barbanne river which separates Lalande from Pomerol, this is some of the finest terroir and one of the best performing properties in the appellation.
THE WINE
Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of melted toffee, dark berry compote, and spice with a bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a subtle, long plum, nuts, and leafy earth finish with earthy, fine tannins and moderate oak. A supple, sensual red Bordeaux with instant appeal and a long path of pleasure ahead.
