The DUO project, based in the heart of Saint-Émilion, celebrates the harmony between traditional terroir and a modern approach to winemaking. The grapes for this Grand Cru come from a carefully selected vineyard in the southern part of the appellation, where Merlot finds ideal growing conditions. The aim was to create a wine whose freshness and elegance make it approachable while young, yet whose 23 months of ageing in oak provide the complexity to continue developing beautifully in the bottle for many years to come.
