Château Plince
Pomerol

Château Plince forms part of the properties of Pomerol where modernity melds with tradition. This chateau, in the family since more than one century, keeps its authenticity while benefitting from technical progress, while constantly striving for quality.

Château Plince is known and recognized today by amateurs and professionals as the wine from Pomerol of great quality. In 1995 it took the bronze medal at the agricultural show of Paris, then won the gold medal in 2000.

Through his website, Michel MOREAU, current manager of the chateau, wants to make us discover the "design" of this wine, from presentation of the vineyard until the bottling, including the crucial period of the grape harvest.

Presentation of the vineyard: Located at the exit East of LIBOURNE, the property of Château Plince is close to Château Nénin and opposite Château La Pointe. Its total surface is more than 10 hectares, of which 8,66 hectares are planted in vine. The vineyard is of only one holding and is located on a ground of dark sand largely provided in "iron" which contributes to the richness of the wine.

Current Encépagement: 72% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

Château Plince produces approximately 50,000 bottles per annum. A great part of the production is sold to negociants, the remainder is marketed directly by the S.C.E.V (Civil Company of Wine Exploitation) MOREAU.

"Ample, rich, almost over-ripe nose. Medium body. Good grip. Lovely black fruit. This is a lovely, seductive wine. Very good for a bourgeois Pomerol." (Clive Coates, The Vine)
