Red wine | Premier Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Léognan AC
Located a few kilometers from Bordeaux, it is the oldest vineyard in the region. It was in 1935 that Clarence Dillon bought the Château and restored its titles of nobility. Since then, his wine has been recognized for its deep character and great aging potential. A collector’s wine.

Full-bodied, the palate has lots of subtle earth and mineral accents with a firm, finely grained texture and great freshness lifting the long finish." Robert Parker

Intense, dark purple red, with black reflections.
Fruity, fresh, pure, plum nuances.
Ample, then fleshy, rich and complete, melting and very elegant in its texture and touch, fantastic finish of freshness, flesh and above all great class.
