The wine is shaped by rigorous parcel-by-parcel and batch-by-batch selection, then matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which are new. The result reflects the classic terroir of Saint-Estèphe, where gravelly soils and the proximity to the Gironde help produce wines with depth, freshness, and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for classic Bordeaux fare such as roast lamb, beef ribeye, duck breast, or game dishes, as well as truffle-infused recipes and aged hard cheeses.
