About the estate:
Whether it’s Bordeaux or Bordeaux Supérieur, red, white, or rosé, Éric Duffau masterfully produces wines from the region’s AOCs. In 1979, he took over the family estate located in the Entre-deux-Mers region, on the left bank of the Dordogne. His 46-hectare vineyard is situated primarily on hillsides facing Saint-Émilion.

About the wine:
The 2015 oak-aged vintage strikes a balance between full ripeness and just the right amount of aging; it will age well for ten years.
About the estate:
Éric Duffau demonstrates that Bordeaux grape varieties harvested at optimal ripeness, carefully vinified, and aged with restraint produce impeccable wines at an excellent price point across all three colors. The clay-based terroirs on limestone subsoils, located primarily in Génissac and Moulon, impart their full range of flavors to the wines, but slightly excessive oak can mask the fruit’s natural character.
