F. Thienpont Bordeaux Sarmentine 2021 750ml

These wines are the personal project of Francois Thienpont, the Bordeaux luminary whose family owns such legendary Right Bank estates as Vieux Château Certan and Le Pin, as well as Château Puygeraud and rising Saint Émilion star L'IF. The range is fruit driven and represents the best qualities of the appellations and vintage. Stephane Derencourt, who consults for many Bordeaux wineries including Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse, Pavie-Macquin, La Mondotte and Clos Fourtet, is the consulting enologist. 2012 is the first vintage of the compelling L’Etoile Lalande de Pomerol, a joint venture between Francois and Guillaume Thienpont, of Vieux Château Certan.
