This Pomerol property was purchased by the Labruyère family in 1992. Located in the northern part of the appellation, located near such famous names as Eglise-Clinet and Petrus, the 18 ha of vines stretch across the gentle slopes of the Pomerol plateau. Unusual for Bordeaux is the practice of whole bunch ferment in the vinification process. The wines from the property get better year on year.
A very pretty and floral bouquet, intense wild flower aromas and strawberry fragrance. The palate is finely constructed with black and red fruits and succulent tannins woven into the core. A wonderful Pomerol that possesses both richness and charm.
Harvest 10th - 23rd Septmeber with a yield of only 22hl/ha. 30% whole bunch fermentation, aged in 20% new oak barrels of which 50% are demi-muids. 13.0% Alc.
