Vineyard Located just north of the prestigious Pomerol plateau, these vines grow in gravelly and sandy soils that facilitate excellent drainage. The 2016 vintage is considered exceptional for the right bank, providing the perfect conditions for Merlot to reach peak elegance and complexity.

Wine Presented in a Magnum, this 2016 vintage is at a beautiful stage of maturity. It delivers a sophisticated bouquet of truffle, dried herbs, and black cherry. The palate is refined and silky, boasting the structural density characteristic of a great Lalande-de-Pomerol with a long, savory finish.
