Description
Our grapes are completely handpicked and destemmed. We start with a skin contact cold maceration for 12 hours at 8oC. We collect only the free run juice as we use NO press. Focusing on the highest quality characteristics we choose to vinify only the free run must, even if we lose 1/3 of our total volume. 100% barrel-fermented in French oak barriques. After fermentation, the wine is gently stirred (bâtonnage) during the 8 months of aging on fine lees. This classic technique enhances the aromatic richness and complexity. A light micro-filtration is done just before bottling.

Clos Stegasta
121,10 €A seductive wine with a plethora of aromas. Oregano and violets are wrapped around a core of dark cherries, green pepper and espresso roast. The palate sets the ground along with the velvety tannins cutting through a complex and complete finish. A spherical wine seamlessly textured with no hard edges in sight. Delicious early on, better with age.

Chateau Latour Martillac Pessac Leognan Grand Cru Classe
95,60 €The 2016 Latour-Martillac has an understated nose at first, but it unfurls and becomes quite a seductive Pessac-Léognan with ample blackberry and raspberry fruit, and a subtle hint of black olive. I admire the precision here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannin overlaid by blackberry and bilberry fruit, sea salt and black pepper. Showing excellent focus and abundant freshness on the finish, this is an assured and sophisticated Latour-Martillac that will give many years of pleasure.
