2016 Chateau Gombaude Guillot

This 7-hectare property is located in the middle of the Pomerol plateau. Olivier Techer, the winemaker, his wife Marine, and his brother Sylvain now oversee the property and are the 6th generation to do so.

This is a classic rich minerally Pomerol made from a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. The grapes are picked by hand, sorted, destemmed and lightly crushed. The fermentation process occurs naturally in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless-steel tanks for a duration of 3-4 weeks. Afterwards, the wine is aged in Allier oak (50% new) and clay amphora. The wine is not filtered before bottling,
