LePigeonnier2016–ChâteauLagrezette

To make this prestigious wine, the grapes are carefully harvested by hand from the domaine’s stunning parcel of 2.7 hectares. The vines are about thirty years old and they grow in a soil that’s dominated by clay-gravel over a Kimmeridgien subsoil. This signature wine from this estate is only produced in the best years. A very small production of less than 5,000 bottles per year. Aged for between 22 and 24 months in new oak barrels, it is listed as exceptional in the second edition ofParkerGuide toFrench Wines . A great vintage that can improve with age for over 25 years.
