Rated estate (2009 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

“This small estate, covering just over 3 hectares and beautifully situated in the heart of the Pomerol plateau, not far from the church, had long produced unremarkable wines. That changed in 2006 when Catherine Péré-Vergé purchased it. The winemaking process, overseen by Michel Rolland, is meticulously executed: the grapes are destemmed by hand, and the wine is aged entirely in barrels. The result is a “haute couture” wine, whose production is unfortunately limited to 5,000 bottles.”
