The wine is powerfull. It offers a dense and velvety tannic structure, aromas of ripe red fruits (black cherry, jammy strawberry) and woody notes (white pepper, clove, cocoa bean).
Château Taillefer 2016 will go well with our south-western specialities, a beautiful entrecote or a grilled duck breast. It can also be enjoyed with well-ripened or strong-tasting cheeses.
The Bordeaux wine merchant Antoine Moueix acquired Château Taillefer in 1923 because he could see the great potential of this terroir. Situated on the plateau of Pomerol, this historic property was first recognized in 1776 by the geographer of Louis XV, and has been conserved with great care for over 2 centuries.
The estate spans 12 hectares and is planted mainly with Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines. The soil is rich in iron, a characteristic typical of the terroir of Pomerol. This fact that inspired the name of the estate: “Taillefer” comes from the French phrase “to cut iron.” The high iron content imparts complexity to the wine together with minerality and aromas of truffles and violets.
97% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc aged for 12 months in 100% French oak, 38% new.
