Vineyard
Originating from a family property acquired in the 19th century by the Brun family, the castle was
taken over by a group of friends in 2013 under the leadership of Jean Pierre Beltoise, a former great
car racer. Lionel Gallais is in charge, with the advice of oenologist Paul Junet,
Located in the commune of Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens, the vineyard is planted on soil of ancient
sand crossed by veins of gravel in the subsoil, to the south of the limestone plateau of SaintEmilion. The vines, aged 35 years on average, are cultivated sustainably, by plowing and grassing,
but without any use of herbicides.
Tasting
Deep ruby color. Intense nose of ripe fruit, black and ripe cherry, with very fine woody notes, a hint
of truffle. On the palate the attack is powerful, the texture is dense and juicy, with well-coated
tannins. 92/100 James Suckling.
