An exceptional micro-cuvée in the heart of the plateau

Clos Payrol, nestled on just 0.36 hectares at the top of the Pomerol plateau, is one of the most secretive estates in the appellation. With an annual production of less than 1,000 bottles, this micro-cru cultivates excellence in discretion, just steps away from the biggest names on the right bank.

A mythical terroir in miniature

The vineyard, composed exclusively of Merlot, rests on clay-gravel soil with a subsoil rich in iron deposits. This rare composition gives the wine depth, minerality, and longevity. The old vines, aged 35 to 50 years, express remarkable density.

Style: purity, tension, silkiness

Clos Payrol delivers a refined and precise Pomerol, with melted tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. The aromas evoke black cherry, cocoa, truffle, and blond tobacco, with a persistent and elegant finish. It is a wine that captivates as much by its intensity as by its restraint.

Emblematic cuvée

The only cuvée of the estate, Clos Payrol is 100% Merlot, produced from very low yields (about 35 hl/ha). Carefully aged in barrels, it embodies a sincere and artisanal expression of the Pomerol terroir.

Philosophy: ultra-precise craftsmanship

The harvest is manual, with strict sorting in the vineyard. Vinification is gentle, without artifice, and aging respects the purity of the fruit. Each vintage is a unique, confidential, and timeless piece.
