Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé B
After long years of
ownership by the Lurton family, this cru is now in hands of Philippe Cuvelier
since 2001. He also owns Ch.
Poujeaux (Moulis). The vineyard of 20ha is perfectly situated against the
church in the centre of St. Emilion and has a super terroir of clay-lime with a
lime underlayer. Under the new regime, the yields are very limited (32hl/ha).
With the help of wonder advisor Stéphane Derenoncourt, a fantastically fine and
intensely concentrated wine is made, definitely worth its ranking of Premier
Grand Cru Classé. Since the end of last year, there has been a new director,
Mr. Emmanuel de Saint Salvy (ex Bellefont Belcier). He now has the leadership
instead of Mr. Tony Ballu who has retired.
