In 1998, Corinne and Jean-Michel Comme began a venture in the aristocratic regions of Bordeaux, in the outlying Sainte-Foy, becoming one of the region’s first organic properties. Jean-Michel had been working at Château Pontet-Canet in Pauillac and purchased five hectares of about sixty-year old vines, buried across the river in fine clay-limestone soils. Every detail and toil is carried out by hand as they continue this process today. Tractors do not tread on the property, nor do they turn soils that become too damp. Some days it is the vines above, others the roots below, but the end product is fantastic fruit that is gently carried to the cellar. There, only natural yeasts begin fermentation and time is allowed for maturity and finesse.

I am a supple and fine wine, marked above all by a beautiful dense texture. |

My nose reveals notes of red and black fruits. After aeration, I release notes of ripe red fruits and spices. |

In the mouth, I reveal a fleshy and fruity tannic structure. It has a lovely play on the palate with great freshness and has very finely tuned, ripe tannins on the finish. |

I pair perfectly with grilled steaks and chops, mushrooms, green olives, pepper, rosemary, and mint. I also pair well with chicken, white fish, and quiche as well. |
