Tasting notes

An exceptionally aromatic wine, a real bouquet of red fruits and fine oak notes. The palate structure is typical of a beautiful Pauillac, with good length and a nice tannic structure.

Estate

Albert Tiffon from La Fleur Haut Carras has built up his estate in small steps since 1982. Unable to take over his parent's estate, as they were still actively producing wine, he decided to create his own by parceling together some small plots when he could. He now owns 20 acres in Haut-Médoc, and above all, 4 acres in Pauillac. Today it would be impossible for him to purchase new plots of Pauillac, as the pressure from all his neighbors (Mouton, Latour, Lynch-Bages and Pichon Comtesse de Lalande), is hard. Albert is committed to continuing to work his small estate, is proud of his wines and proud to be one of the last small estates in Pauillac.

Vinification

This classic Pauillac is hand harvested from 40 year old vines. It was then fermented with natural yeast then aged in 1/3rd new oak for 12-14 months. It was bottled without fining and filtering.
