Located in Néac, at the gateway to Pomerol, this estate was brought to the highest level by the late Denis Durantou, an iconic figure of the Bordeaux Right Bank and owner of the legendary Château L’Église-Clinet. Today managed by his family, the estate produces wines that combine depth, elegance, and remarkable precision. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from a terroir of gravel and clay, the 2020 vintage is crafted from \u003cstrong\u003e80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/strong\u003e. The grapes, harvested by hand at perfect maturity, benefited from the vintage's excellent conditions, resulting in a wine that is at once concentrated, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The aging process takes place in French oak barrels, with approximately 50 to 60% new wood, adding complexity and finesse without masking the expression of the fruit. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose reveals an intense bouquet of black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, accompanied by notes of violet, licorice, blond tobacco, and graphite.
