A historic estate from Saint-Émilion, rooted in the excellence of its clay-limestone terroirs and shaped by the Moueix family legacy.
- Terroir: Chalky soils and deep clays of the Saint-Émilion appellation, imparting a distinctive minerality and natural elegance to the wines.
- Vinification: A traditional approach, favouring finesse and balance, with measured aging to preserve the purity of the fruit.

On the nose: Aromas of candied black cherry and lightly spiced prune, lifted by a hint of blond tobacco and a subtle vanilla note, all underpinned by a chalky minerality.
On the palate: A velvety texture, carried by a lively acidity and a saline tension, with a long, precise finish where ripe fruit and earthy nuances intertwine.
