Characteristics and tasting advice for La Belle Connivence 2011
Tasting
Nose
Powerful, the nose releases fragrances of morello cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant.
Palate
Silky and ample, the palate extends its aromatic expression to a finish with very fine tannins.
A silky and ample Pomerol red wine
The property
The story of the Château La Connivence is above all a story of friendship with three wine-loving friends who decide to create a very good wine. The superb Pomerol appellation then becomes the cradle of this connivance that unites the three owners: Johan Micoud, former international footballer, Matthieu Chalmé, former player for Girondins de Bordeaux, and Alexandre de Malet Roquefort, owner of Château La Gaffelière in Saint-Émilion.
The vineyard
A garden vineyard, Château La Connivence is a real little gem: 1.40 hectares located on a very large terroir of Pomerol, emblematic land of merlot, the flagship grape variety that covers 65% of the estate's land. The château has also chosen to plant cabernet franc, which represents 35% of the vineyard. On this terroir of gravels combining fat gravels, fine gravels, and clayey sandy soils, the 3 friends immediately sense that the perfect conditions are met to be able to produce a very great Pomerol red wine. In order to preserve this precious terroir, the vines are exclusively worked by hand and managed in a reasoned agriculture.
Blend
Merlot (80%) and cabernet franc (20%).
