    Owner and history

    The vineyard covers 30 hectares of vines, cultivated organically. They benefit from a mild and humid microclimate. These characteristics help protect the vines from harsh weather and frost. The soil consists of a limestone ridge along the riverbank, which is rare within the Pauillac appellation. The plots located near the lieu-dit "Bages" are composed of deep gravel, among the highest quality in the appellation.

    Vinification and aging

    - Hand-harvested grapes
    - Vinification by plot and tailored to individual needs, vertical pressing
    - Aged for 16 months in barrels (40% new wood, 40% one-year-old barrels, 20% amphorae)
