Chateau du Tailhas

Passion, Land, and Merlot based wine! I made this appointment months in advance and was able to make Château Tailhas my first stop at the Right Bank of Bordeaux in Pomerol (9AM). Château Tailhas was a pure joy with an intimate tasting with the three of us including the ever amazing multi-​tasker owner/​wine maker/​guide, Luc! He greeted us warmly and took us around the vineyard, VAT room, Cellar, and finally the Tasting room.
Château Tailhas is a family owned vineyard and they do everything by hand. It’s quite AMAZING and very traditional. Luc now makes the final decision with the help of his father on when to harvest the wine by simply picking the grapes and tasting it. No chemist or engineer, pure intuition!
I love the passion and pride of the Château Tailhas and their 2009 Merlot was fantastic; gentle, round, and soft; a great representation of their Terroir. Thanks Luc for this wonderful, unforgetable tasting experience!
