The grape

Merlot

Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile

Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.

Where it's from

The story behind it

“Le Bourg” comes from a very small plot of old Merlot vines (around 45+ years old) on clay-gravel soils with blue clay, just 500m from Pétrus. Aged extensively in 100% new French oak, this cuvée represents the top expression of the estate and is produced in extremely limited quantities.

If you like these, you'll love this: If you enjoy the richness of Château Moncets Lalande-de-Pomerol 2022 or the more evolved depth of Château de Chambrun Lalande-de-Pomerol 2010 Magnum, this is a more concentrated, premium step up.
