The Story Behind the Bottle
This superb, 20-hectare Saint Emilion property, not far from the renowned Valandraud estate, was purchased by Peter Kwok in 2012. An addition to his extensive portfolio on Bordeaux's Right Bank. He has since made the château fully organic and biodynamic – a clear indication of the team's meticulous approach every step of the process. What's more, they have the renowned Michel Rolland as consultant. Using largely, densely planted Merlot, supplemented by Cabernet Franc, and aged 60% in new oak for 18 months, this is a powerful claret. It is dense and muscular, but with lovely freshness and structure for ageing. For drinking now, decant early and serve with pink roast lamb. Alternatively cellar for a decade or so. A fine dinner red.
