The 35-year-old Jérôme Aguirre, owner of this small estate in Lalande-de-Pomerol, cut his teeth as a winemaker at well known Bordeaux estates: Château Reignac, Château Le Gay and Château La Violette. (These days he also makes the wine at Haut-Brisson in addition to this.) A modern style vinified in cement vats before transferring to barrel for 12-18 months. Its hedonistic aromas of chocolate and blackberries are balanced by mineral and creosote, which carry over to a palate with herb and spice characteristics that add depth and complexity. A fantastic value from an exceptional vintage and from a site that's just a hop, skip and a jump from Pomerol proper.
