 Special
Relationships
Domaine Select is another special relationship we are proud of. We met Jean-Christophe Meyrou many
years ago when he worked for The Edonia Group. He has since started his own Negociant Company and
represents some amazing wines that we feel very strong about.

of which have received favorable press in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.

 Domaine Sainte Leocadie
Minervois

In the heart of the Causses (a group of limestone plateaus in the the elevated region of south-central
France known as the Massif Central) is the AOC Minervois. In this special section of the western Languedoc
is the village of Aigne, with its snail like center. The origins of this charming village go as far back as the first
century AD (when it was inhabited by the Romans), so it is believed that the winding streets were installed
as a safeguard against invaders. Thankfully, times are more peaceful and, for the past several hundred, the
village has found quiet prosperity with olive trees and vineyards. Anne and Thierry Bonnel deliver one of
the region’s better wines with their Domaine Sainte Leocadie “Les Clauses.” Generally a blend of 50%
Syrah, 25% Grenache and 25% Carignan, it offers enough body, fruit and earthy spice to compliment the
heartiest of meals.

 Château Haut-Bergeron
Sauternes

This 25 hectare wine estate in Sauternes is proud home to some very old vines. The harvest and vinification
are carried out with the utmost attention to detail. The wine undergoes a lengthy ageing in oak barrels and
the resulting wine is comparable in quality to some of the more well-known (and expensive) names in the
region.

 Château La Fleur des Pins
Graves Superieures

This is a rich sweet wine done in the style of Sauternes. It is a classic deep golden-orange colour, and the nose
carries handsome aromas of oranges, marmalade, quince, and a little pleasing botrytis character. The palate
is fresh - loaded with typical flavours of honey and apricots. The texture of this wine is absolutely asounding
and the finish is long and delicate. This Graves Superieures could easily compete with many Sauternes.

 Château Vieux Pourret
St. Emilion

Seeking harmony with nature, soil and plants are attended to according to a lunar calendar. Cultivation
procedures exclude all killer products ended by “cide” such as weed-killers, pesticides and fungicides. To
bring forth clusters of living grapes, our estate manager Jean Philippe Turtaut, considering himself as the
“companion” of the plant, uses his own natural products to strengthen it and enable it to draw out the best
of the Saint Emilion terroir.
These grapes, by traditional wine-making procedures of a merlot-cabernet franc blend, are the source of an
invigorating wine that will always give you the drinking experience it promises.
A wine for a toast to health!

Château Vieux Pourret is the first Saint Emilion vineyard converting to biodynamic cultivation and being
given the brand name of Demeter

 Château Haut-Brisson &
Château Haut-Brisson
La Grave
St. Emilion

Recently purchased by a Chinese businessman intent on turning out the finest product possible, Haut-Brisson
is a prime example of how world-class Bordeaux can remain attractively priced and still deliver exceptional
quality. Located in the prestigious Saint-Emilion appellation, Château Haut-Brisson is comprised of 13
hectares planted on noble gravel soil. The blend of grapes planted in the vineyard is 70% Merlot, 20%
Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc - the traditional grapes varieties of St. Emilion. Michel
Rolland is the consulting oenologist

The vines are double-Guyot pruned to provide the grapes with more favorable exposure to the sun and
also to control yields. Vineyard work follows the traditional method and application of soil amendments,
pesticides and herbicides is minimal. The leaves and bunches are thinned to increase airflow, which lessens
the problem of rot, and to control yields, which ensures each and every berry achieves maximum ripeness
and flavor development.

When the grapes arrive at the winery they are double sorted to remove any unwanted debris and to assure
that only the most desirable grapes inform the finished wine. The must undergoes an 8-day long maceration
prior to fermentation in small stainless steel vats to enhance the wines color and extraction. Alcoholic
fermentation takes place at 30°C, the ideal temperature to extract phenolic compounds. The wine is then
racked into new oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and to enjoy 16 to 19 months of ageing.

The second wine of Haut-Brisson, La Grave, represents the same commitment to quality, and an even more
outstanding value.

 Château Poupille
Côtes de Castillon

At the eastern side of the commune of Sainte Colombe, just off the road that runs north from Castillon la
Bataille up to the Côtes de Francs, you will find what many believe to be Castillon’s best estate. Jean-Marie
Carrille bought it in 1967, and, in 1993 his son Philppe took over. There were originally ten hectares, but
the vineyard has been extended to 16 hectares over the years. The vines are closer together than is normal
in these parts, and the grapes are exclusively hand-harvested before the wine is aged in wood, one-third
of which is new. Philippe Carrille has tried microbullage, malo in barrel and bâtonnage, but has reverted
to more traditional methods - with elegant results. The estate’s flagship wine is called Poupille Atypique.
It is a wine of real flair, quality and finesse - rich and succulent, intense and harmonious. It is not sold en
primeur.

Bordeaux

Chateau Haut Riot is situated in the heart of Bordelais, is the ancestral home of a family of winemakers. A
great variety of wines are produced there, (red, white and rosé),
