Managed with meticulous precision by Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1953, this historic estate produces wines sought after for their sovereign distinction, silky mouthfeel, and extraordinary aromatic complexity, capable of traversing decades with immense grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Cuvée: Grand Merlot in its Tertiary Fullness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed primarily of Merlot complemented by a touch of Cabernet Franc, this cuvée is the very symbol of Pomerol's refinement. With time, this wine develops a deeply complex and aristocratic aromatic profile. After half a century of harmonious aging, the tannins have melted, giving way to a taffeta-like texture, offering an unforgettable tasting experience for lovers of mature Grand Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 1976 Vintage: A Sunny and Historic Vintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1976 remains etched in memory as the year of the great drought and a historic heatwave summer in Europe. In Pomerol, these extreme conditions resulted in very concentrated grapes with thick skins. The wines born from this sunny vintage are characterized by a beautiful richness and an early tertiary evolution, which today, on the eve of their 50th anniversary, gives them a remarkable roundness and aromatic fullness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSales Terms and Condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have three bottles of this historic vintage.
