Description

Based in Bordeaux, France.

Large estate of around 70 hectares (plus 30 hectares of forests) in Pessac-Léognan. Owned by the Quinn Family from Ireland since 2001. Several improvements were made since then, including a new cellar and changes to the vineyards. Perhaps a more modern approach to Bordeaux wines today, with both their reds and whites being medium-bodied, balanced and accessible early on, though having enough structure to make them age-worthy. Their first red wine is a fairly balanced assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot these days, with some Cabernet Franc and, in certain vintages, Petit Verdot.* Their whites are made of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, aged in French oak barrels (around 50% new oak).

*In previous vintages before 2017, the assemblage often included around 70% Cabernet Sauvignon.
