Lalande de Pomerol, L'Etoile, François Thienpont - 2016

This is one of François Thienpont's new flagship wines! This wine is indeed the result of a collaboration with Guillaume Thienpont (Vieux Château Certan). Together, they selected this plot of land in l'Étoile and accompany the process from the vine to the bottle. The first nose is discreet but pure, on spices, tawny, racy, with a discreet and precise breeding. The Thienpont family's own style, with straightforwardness and purity. This is the exact opposite of a jammy Merlot!

Domain

Comme vous le savez peut-être, les Thienpont sont nombreux à Bordeaux, mais ils sont bien issus d’une seule et même famille, qui a débuté dans le commerce du vin en 1842 avec l’aïeul Camille. Aujourd’hui, ses descendants se nomment Nicolas (Pavie-Macquin, Puyguéraud, La Prade), Alexandre (Vieux Château Certain), Jacques (Le Pin) et François Thienpont. Ce dernier est à la tête de la maison Wings, qui est une référence du négoce bordelais. Les vins qu’il signe sous son nom expriment leur terroir et leur millésime avec la plus grande sincérité.
