The Pradel de Lavaux family has been shaping the right bank of Bordeaux since the 18th century. Experience and craftsmanship have been passed down through generations: sustainable cultivation, careful hand harvesting and a style that harmonises clarity, fruit and structure – from Libourne, they manage several estates, including Château La Renaissance.
Garnet red; blackcurrant, blackberry and plum on the nose, accompanied by violet, delicate vanilla and a hint of graphite. Juicy and medium-bodied on the palate, with silky, fine-grained tannins, good freshness and a long, spicy-fruity finish.
Gentle processing, fermentation in small cement tanks. Aged for around 18 months in barriques, about half of which are new, for refinement and depth.
Around 6 hectares in Pomerol on a mosaic of sandy-gravelly and clay-rich plots. This mixture provides the combination of fragrant fruit, fine spice and the smooth yet firm structure of the wine.
