Perfectly placed between Chateaux Giscours and La Lagune on a beautiful gravel plateau, the terroir favours a wine that is supple, generous and great for ageing. Just 4 hectares of vines make up this beautiful property and the manageable size means that the vines can be closely tended to by hand in and full respect of the environment.

Tasting
Very deep elegant robe. The first nose is shy but upon airing the wine expresses itself with class some notes of dark fruits, spices and coffee. Aromas of vanilla and red fruits for a great volume and toasty hints.
Food pairings
This wine will go very well with a slice of pan-fried foie gras, the tannins, which give structure to the wine, break the fatty side of the recipe. Then, a piece of grilled red meat: duck breast, rib steak or beef tenderloin that goes particularly well with a glass of Haut-Médoc. Strong cheeses: reblochon, abundance, cabralès.
