Location
The Puisseguin Saint-Émilion appellation is reserved for still red wines. Its geographical area is limited to part of the commune of Puisseguin to the north-east of Bordeaux, 10 kilometres from Saint-Émilion in the Libourne region. The rugged landscape is made up of hills with a mosaic of vineyard plots covering the slopes and the plateau. Vines were probably planted in this region in Gallo-Roman times.
This cuvée is the result of a stringent selection of the best hillside plots crossed by superb veins of blue clay, giving this wine depth and freshness. It is the same soil that can be found on prestigious terroir such as Pomerol.
