It was Jean Desmirail, a famous Lawyer at the Parliament of Bordeaux who gave his name to this Château at the end of the 17th century.
This is a Third Grand Cru Classé according to the prestigious 1855 list.
The vineyard, which covers about 30 hectares and is planted on a Quaternary gravel soil and subsoil, is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot noir 39% and Cabernet Franc 1%.
All the grapes are harvested by hand with successive sorting in the vines. The annual production on average variable according to climatic hazards is about 150 barrels or the equivalent of about 180,000 bottles with a low controlled yield per hectare of 6000 bottles.
The wine is aged in new barrels for one third over a period of 18 months before bottling.
With its lovely vermilion color and tiled highlights, the wine presents itself to us with an initial nose dominated by fruit. Delicate scents of ripe red fruit blend with more complex notes of cocoa and fireplace hearth. On the palate, the balance is superb. Soft, silky tannins give this wine density, finesse and depth. Spicy, woody aromas emerge, subtly taking over from the crisp fruit. The long, persistent finish leaves a beautiful imprint on the palate.
