    Owner and history

    Cultivated using organic farming methods, the vineyard covers 30 hectares. The estate benefits from exceptional terroir, with soil composed of a limestone ridge bordering a river, a rarity in the Pauillac appellation. The plots located on the hillside of the lieu-dit "Bages" are composed of deep gravel, among the highest quality in the appellation. The climate is also a major asset; it is mild and humid, which helps protect the vines from inclement weather and frost.

    Vinification and aging

    Aged for 16 months, including 40% in new barrels, 40% in barrels that have held one vintage, and 20% in ovoid concrete tanks and amphorae.
