"Made from pure Merlot grapes, aged for eight months in vats and twelve months in barrels, the estate's 2012 vintage has won widespread acclaim: its deep color with youthful purple highlights bodes well, as does its bouquet combining flowers and very ripe black berries. Its very warm character is tempered by good acidity and silky tannins. A complete wine, already elegant and suitable for aging." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

About wine:
There is no château name on the label of this fine wine—a truly fine wine—but rather the name of a small bridge that crosses the Barbanne, a stream that forms the boundary of the great appellations of the Libournais region, almost opposite Saint-Aignan, the village in the Fronsadais region where this estate is based. Made from pure Merlot, aged for eight months in vats and twelve in barrels, the estate's 2012 vintage has won widespread acclaim: its deep color with youthful purple highlights bodes well, as does its bouquet combining flowers and very ripe black berries. Its very warm character is tempered by good acidity and silky tannins. A complete wine, already elegant and suitable for aging.
About the estate:
Originally from Fronsadais, these producers have expanded their vineyards to the other side of the Isle River, in the Lalande appellation. Rémy Rousselot, who took over the family estate in 1986, cultivates 21 hectares and produces four wines: Château Vray Hauchat, Les Roches de Ferrand (Fronsac), Pont de Guestres, and Au Pont de Guîtres (Lalande).
