TASTING NOTES
A distinctly traditional Médoc style wine.Excellent flavour and concentration.
Long on the palate.
BACKGROUND
One of the oldest wine-growing estates around Pauillac Verdignan stands out first of all by the beauty of the architecture of the château.
For many years, the know-how in the crafting of wines was monopolised by the abbeys. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the vat-room of Verdignan was built just a few hundred yards from the former abbey of Cadourne, which was a well-known staging post for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela who, after crossing the estuary, arrived at the village called La Maréchale.
A significant date is engraved in the stone lintel of the oldest door of the vat-room at Verdignan: 1720.Jean Miailhe became owner of the vineyard in two stages, first in 1972 and then in 1975.
