About this wine

Château Taillefer sits on the southern side of the Pomerol plateau, on silica and gravel over blue clay rich in iron oxides — the source of its name. Run by Claire Moueix of the Bernard Moueix family, it is planted mostly to Merlot with some Cabernet Franc. The 2016, from a dry, cool year, is a powerful wine with a dense, velvety tannic frame and good ageing potential.

from the producer

Bernard Moueix’s Château Taillefer has been part of the family’s Bordeaux history since Antoine Moueix acquired the property in 1923. Today, fifth-generation custodians Claire Moueix and Cyril Basteau oversee the estate. The vineyard occupies Pomerol’s southern plateau, where gravel, clay and iron-rich soils shape the estate’s distinctive sense of place.
