Owned and operated by the Fernandez family since 1956. The estate is situated in the village of Sauveterre de Guyenne, in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux. Today, the vineyards and winemaking are overseen by grandson Jean Fernandez, who continues the family tradition of crafting approachable, 100% Merlot wines.
A sustained ruby red wine that unveils a generous and intensely fruity bouquet (of redcurrant, blackcurrant and blackberry) with
harmonious highlights of spicy and vanilla notes. The palate is a dense, rich carpet of lush, ripe fruit and fine, powerful tannins
