• Appellation and terroir. The estate is located on a vineyard of about 5.5 hectares in Pomerol, operated by the Rivière family. Although the estate is now certified in organic farming (since 2004), the 1985 vintage has been produced in the traditional way.
• Grape variety. The wine is made mainly from Merlot (which represents almost all of the estate's vineyards), sometimes complemented by a touch of Cabernet Franc.
• Aromatic profile. According to the domain's fact sheet on iDealwine, this cuvée develops aromas of blackberry, strawberry and spices, with a full, round mouth. After more than 40 years in the bottle, wine now expresses advanced tertiary notes of undergrowth, leather, truffle and tobacco.
