Description

Chateau La Truffe Pomerol 2018

Deep colour, with a rich nose and fragrant bouquet of black fruit with hints of spices evolving into ripe fruit aromas on the palate lifted by a both elegant and powerful backbone. It has notes of bergamot and Asian black tea with a lifting acidity.

85 % Merlot, 10 % Cabernet Franc , 5% Cabernet-Sauvignon from 2.35 hectares of vines with average age of the 45 years old. The soil is of fine gravel (Libourne and Pomerol)with traces of ferruginous sandstone in the subsoil. Tillage of the soil and grass cover every other row.

Wines are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and aged in French oak barrels (1/3 new, 1/3 one year old). Certified HVE 3.
