Clos Vieux Taillefer Pomerol AOC

Clos Vieux Taillefer was originally a plot of vines purchased in 1875 by the Robin family. In August 2008, Nicolas and Alexandra Robin bought it back from their grandfather Francis Robin.

Respect for the terroir and the grapes are the guiding principles of this truly bespoke approach. The ideal balance between the delicacy and power of great Pomerol wines. The entire process is masterfully managed by oenologist Stéphane Derenoncourt since 2009.

The estate was expanded in 2009, then a winemaking cellar was built in 2010 and a barrel cellar in 2013. Since October 2011, the property has been Certified sustanaible HVE (High Environmental Value).
