The fact that they have retained the ‘domaine’ designation (more Burgundian) rather than ‘chateau’ also hints at the overall ethos of the place. The Bernard family refer to it as a ‘secret garden.’ We could hardly call the wines secrets anymore, but in the context of modern-day Bordeaux, they are definitely an insider’s choice. The combination of the surrounding trees and classically gravelly Graves soil provide for a cool environment conducive to lifted wines with an elegant, pronounced mineral character and intoxicating aromatic expression that can rival even the best of Margaux. The reds are generally 60-70% Cabernet with the rest Merlot and a small percentage of Petit Verdot \u0026amp; Cab Franc.
