With a very low yield, 100 percent Merlot, and 100 percent new oak, the wines of classic quality in the St.-Émilion and decadently rich Le Pin directly challenged Pétrus, less than a mile Pomerol regions, in addition to wines of modest away. It was widely known that Thienpont considered Vieux Château Certan to be at least the equal of Pétrus, and he could quality, but excellent value and character, in the certainly claim it to be historically more famous, but Pétrus “satellite” appellations that surround them. regularly got much the higher price, which dented his pride. So Le Pin was born, and although he did not offer his fledgling wine at the same price as Pétrus, it soon trounced it on the auction IN THE MID-1950S, many Libournais wines were harsh, and market.

  • Château Les Garelles Château Les Garelles
    Château Les Garelles Adrien and Thomas NOVOA Which animal you would like to be? A butterfly Your motto? It’s better to embrace change before it grabs you by the throat Your main character trait ? Connecting with others The gift you would like nature to give you? Its strength but not its weaknesses My father bought the Château Les Garelles estate in 1997. After studying agronomy and oenology I decided to take the helm at the family estate in 2009, with the ambition of returning to natural methods. I therefore started to convert the estate to organic wine-growing as soon as I arrived. Some years later I wanted to take things further, so we changed to vinification without inputs in 2013. Today, I am proud to produce organic wine without inputs, to return to basics: processing grapes as naturally as possible to extract the best from them and offer natural, organic wines at a fair price so that everyone can enjoy them. This is my vision of organic wine-growing. Château Les Garelles BLAYE CÔTES DE BORDEAUX Village: Saint Christoly, Saint Paul and Berson Total surface of the vineyard: 44 hectares Type of soils: Sandy clay and limestone clay Blend of grape varieties: 70% Merlot, 15% Malbec, 10% Carménère, 5% Cabernet Franc Wine vinification: Traditional vinification, with sorting and gravity-flow vatting. Fermentation on skins lasting around 25 days, entirely spontaneous yeasts without the addition of any inputs or sulphites. Tasting notes: Garnet red in colour, with dominant notes of ripe red fruit and spices. The wine presents true aromatic freshness.
