2018 vintage:
Lovely, clear and brilliant hue, delicate notes of citrus, pear, peach and white flowers. A full-bodied, aromatic wine with remarkable freshness.
The vine has been worked at Domaine de Grandmaison since the 18th century. The production of red and white wine has sometimes been interrupted, but the Bouquier Family has produced precise and aromatic wines in this charming area since the beginning of the 20th century.
Today, François, his wife Mayi, and their nephew Rémi Lartigue offer a very lovely Pessac Léognan.
