Pomerol - owned by P.Laserre, this 12 ha property produces on average 6,000 cases per year. Located in the west of the Pomerol appellation, near Ch.de Sales, the property shares a similar climate to that enjoyed by both St.Emilion & Pomerol: more continental than the maritime Médoc with generally more spring rainfall, though less in summer & winter. Its vineyards (Merlot 60%; Cabernet Franc 30%; Malbec 10%) lie on sandy-gravel topsoils, underpinned by a hard-pan clay subsoil. Vinification includes extended wood maturation, with 25% new oak.
