The house's classic cuvée, mostly Merlot. Bernard Hébrard and his wife Marie-Odile pick their 2.24 hectares in Saint-Loubès by hand. Garnet with purple glints, with red fruit, old oak and a floral touch on the nose; full on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and a spicy development.

When there is a mature cheese on the table, we would choose it over the 2019. With beef or game, both vintages work.

Still unsure?

Who is Bernard Hébrard?

Bernard Hébrard, an experienced oenologist. He ran the laboratory at Grézillac and the wine service of the Gironde chamber of agriculture. After retiring in 2003, he and his wife Marie-Odile bought a neglected estate in Saint-Loubès. Since then the two have farmed 2.24 hectares with hand picking, leaf removal and green harvesting, the way the Grands Crus do it.
