Description

For more than a century, through four generations, this small family property has been working its vines in the purest tradition (manual harvest, ageing in oak barrels). The daughter of the owners perpetuates this tradition, while bringing innovation to the methods of vinification and the management of the vines.

From a 3.5 hectare plot where the average age of the vines is over 30 years old. The sandy-gravel soil on Pomerol’s lower terrace features a subsoil rich in crasse de fer (ironpan) that makes Pelerins both smooth and vigorous.

Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled vats and the wine was then aged in oak barrels. 

This is a highly attractive, classic style Pomerol with intense aromas of chocolate and plums. Supple structure, beautifully rich fruit and ending on velvet tannins.

Perfect with Lamb shanks or pork tenderloin.
