"New: 100% Sauvignon Blanc!"
“Complex and subtle, the bouquet of Pierre Blanche hints at an authentic wine with a focus on finesse. In addition to delicate floral nuances, the bouquet reveals notes of lemongrass and fresh bread. Slightly briny on the palate, the wine is perfectly supported by its structure, while subtle bitter notes enhance the finish and its length. A savory and compelling wine!” (Yves Beck 2023)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Starting with his family’s right-bank vineyard in Vérac, near Fronsac, Hervé Lhuillier has created a true premium Bordeaux brand, built on the foundations of depth, authenticity, and carefully balanced oak aging. New vines of Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, planted on exposed limestone (the quarries are open to visitors), will soon begin producing wine. While the density-sorting machine brought greater precision to the 2018 vintage, we remain unsatisfied with the somewhat exaggerated extraction and aging processes. Let’s give the wines time to settle before considering removing the star.
