Chateau Gombaude-Guillot
A rare bird in the Pomerol landscape, Château Gombaude-Guillot with its low intervention approach is opening a new path in the appellation. Claire Laval converted to organic in the early 80s, and it is now her son Olivier Techer who is bringing the estate to the next level, with the biodynamic certification, minimal use of S02 during vinification, and experimenting with different vessels for fermentations and ageing. The wines are classic, expressive and very much terroir driven, beautiful in their youth but with an incredible ageing potential.

Made from younger vines, average age 20 years. Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted, de-stemmed and lightly crushed. Natural vinification 3 weeks in cement tank. Lively and approchable Pomerol, ripe black berries and red cherries.
