Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Grand Cru Classé de Graves, is one of the oldest wine properties in Bordeaux. It is
also one of the most pioneering in its approach to the soil, the quality of its wines and in its strong commitment
to provide consumer enjoyment. For the past 25 years, Florence and Daniel Cathiard have inspired SHL which
champions “Bio Precision” using innovative viticultural and vinification techniques matched with a great respect
for the soil and the vine. The exceptional quality of its first and second wines, both red and white, continues to
win critical acclaim from national and international journalists and positive feedback from wine enthusiasts.
A 100% gravity operated vat room, a renovated cooperage and the innovative SHL Stealth Cellar are open year
round, by appointment.

Château Guiraud 2015, 1er Grand Cru Classé en 1855, Sauternes
Château Guiraud 2013, 1er Grand Cru Classé en 1855, Sauternes
Château Guiraud was classified a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855. It is the oldest estate in Sauternes dating
back to the 15th century and is one of the largest in the appellation with vineyard holdings covering one hundred
hectares. Château Guiraud produces natural wines. It was the first 1855 Premier Grand Cru Classé to be certified
organic and the only château in Sauternes to apply genuine ecologic practices across all its vines. The wines
of Château Guiraud are marked with authenticity, characteristic acidity, minerality and exceptional depth. In
July 2006, it was purchased by four key figures; an industrialist, Robert Peugeot and three winemakers, Olivier
Bernard, Stephan von Neipperg and Xavier Planty.

CHÂTEAU D’AIGUILHE

Château d'Aiguilhe 2015, Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux
Acquired by Stephan von Neipperg at the end of 1998, Château d’Aiguilhe is one of the most beautiful
estates in the Côtes de Castillon. It stretches across one hundred and eleven hectares. Fifty hectares are
devoted exclusively to vineyards. The vines grow particularly well on the upper part of the slope where
they enjoy excellent natural drainage and south facing sunshine. These natural advantages, combined with
old vines, play an important role to produce extraordinary wines with power and finesse. The blend is
80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

CLOS DE L'ORATOIRE
TABLE 3
www.neipperg.com
Clos de l'Oratoire 2015, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé
Clos de l’Oratoire, located on a north east slope in the appellation of Saint-Emilion, has ten hectares of
vines. The soil is made up of Fronsac molasses on a layer of sand/clay subsoil which is ideal for the
production of Merlot which makes up 90% of the grapes grown on this estate. Clos de l’Oratoire is a
round, smooth, very seductive wine with a beautiful deep crimson colour and powerful fruit aromas. Merlot
makes the wine deliciously round and opulent, whereas the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon
contribute power, aromatic complexity and a wonderful, long finish.
5
CHÂTEAU CANON LA GAFFELIÈRE TABLE 3
www.neipperg.com
Château Canon La Gaffelière 2015, Saint Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé
Château Canon La Gaffelière 2012, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé
Located south of the medieval village of Saint-Emilion, at the foot of the appellation's main slope, the soil
at Château Canon La Gaffelière is composed of well-drained clay-limestone and clay-sand. The proportion
of grape varieties used in the blend is atypical for the appellation and almost equally divided between
Merlot and Cabernet. Cabernet ripens very early on Canon La Gaffelière's warm soil, complementing
Merlot's opulence, considerable power and aromatic complexity. The two varieties marry beautifully to give
Canon La Gaffelière its natural elegance and finesse.
6
LA MONDOTTE
TABLE 3
www.neipperg.com
La Mondotte 2015, Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé
La Mondotte has four and a half hectares of vines east of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau. This jewel
of a vineyard has all the natural resources to produce great wine. The soil consists primarily of clay with
a large amount of silt on rocky subsoil. The poor terroir forces the vines to sink their roots deep into the
earth for nourishment. Natural drainage and ideal sun exposure enables the grapes, especially Merlot, to
ripen under the best possible conditions. La Mondotte's unique clay soil, together with a natural tendency
towards early ripening, produces yields less than thirty hectolitres per hectare. These ideal conditions
combine to produce deeply-coloured, well-structured wines of unparalleled elegance and extraordinary
opulence.

CHÂTEAU GAZIN
TABLE 4
Château Gazin l 33500 Pomerol
Ines de Bailliencourt
L'Hospitalet de Gazin 2014, Pomerol
Château Gazin 2015, Pomerol
Château Gazin, once the site of an 18th Century village, is built on the foundations of a hospital which was
constructed in the 12th Century by the Knights of Malta to accommodate the pilgrims on their way to
Santiago de Compostella. Fifty six point eight acres are under vine in a single plot out of a total area of
sixty four point two acres which are planted on the renowned clay-gravel plateau of the Pomerol
appellation. The estate produces up to 100,000 bottles a year. A second label, L’Hospitalet de Gazin, was
created in 1986, produced from younger vines reserved for this wine.

CHÂTEAU CANON

Nicolas Audebert
Château Canon 2015, 1er Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Émilion
Croix Canon 2011, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Nestled on a limestone plateau in Saint-Émilion, Château Canon is an exemplary estate with a terroir of
exceptional quality which led it to become a 1er Cru Classé in 1954. Surrounded by walls, the vineyards
are planted on gentle slopes which sweep down to the village of Saint-Émilion. The team at Château
Canon has maximised the potential of the terroir to reveal complexity and finesse in its wines which
continues under its owners Chanel, who bought the property in 1996.

CHÂTEAU RAUZAN-SÉGLA

Nicolas Audebert & Marie Barbé-Salenave
Château Rauzan-Ségla 2015, Margaux 2ème Grand Cru Classé
Ségla 2009, Margaux
The generous nature of Château Rauzan-Ségla would not be what it is today without an important human
dimension. In 1661 it was Pierre de Rauzan’s dream to earn his vineyard a place in the world of Grands
Vin which inspired generations to follow. Nicolas Audebert and his team continue the work of precision
undertaken by Chanel in 1994. The wines of Rauzan-Ségla have a generous bouquet and stylish elegance
which express the terroir of the appellation.

CHÂTEAU BRANAIRE-DUCRU

Château Branaire-Ducru l 33250 Saint-Julien
François-Xavier Maroteaux
Duluc de Branaire-Ducru 2012, Saint-Julien
Château Branaire-Ducru 2015, Saint-Julien 4ème Grand Cru Classé
Château Branaire-Ducru is a Saint-Julien Classified Growth with around sixty hectares. The average age
of the vines is over thirty five years old. Two wines are produced: Château Branaire-Ducru, the first wine
and Duluc de Branaire-Ducru, the second label produced from younger vines. The blend is predominantly
Cabernet Sauvignon but includes some Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The winemaking policy
is to produce ripe, fruity wines which preserve their elegance and complexity with age.
11
CHÂTEAU LE CROCK
TABLE 8
Château Le Crock l 1, rue Paul Amilhat l Lieu-dit Marbuzet
33180 Saint-Estèphe
www.chateaulecrock.fr l www.facebook.fr l www.cuvelier-bordeaux.com
Didier Cuvelier, Thierry Gramon & Mathias Lanseau
Château le Crock 2015, Saint-Estèphe
The Cuvelier family, wine merchants in Lille since 1804, bought Château Le Crock in Saint-Estèphe in
1903. In 1947 one of the partners, Max Cuvelier, settled in Bordeaux and opened a second wine merchant
business, H. Cuvelier & Son. His son Olivier took over the business in 1985. His other son Didier has run
the vineyards since 1979. Château le Crock is perfectly located on gravelly soil between Cos d’Estournel
and Montrose. It follows sustainable viticultural practices using environmentally friendly methods rather
than herbicides. Château Le Crock produces rich, powerful wines, with great aromatic complexity with
powerful tannins, a delicately oaky, rich bouquet underlined by a full, fleshy structure developing finesse
during ageing resulting in a complex, elegant wine.
12
PAVILLON DE LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ
TABLE 8
Château Léoville Poyferré l 38 rue de Saint-Julien l 33250 Saint-Julien
www.leoville-poyferre.fr l www.cuvelier-bordeaux.com
Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré 2014, Saint-Julien
Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré is the second wine of Château Léoville Poyferré and Château Moulin Riche.
It is produced mainly from the estate’s younger vines. The same winemaking philosophy is used in the
production of this wine as its two older brothers, Château Léoville Poyferré and Château Moulin Riche. It
is a well-balanced, easy-drinking wine revealing the fruity character and finesse of the Grand Vin. This
wine is not sold En Primeur.
13
CHÂTEAU MOULIN RICHE
TABLE 8
Château Moulin Riche 2015, Saint-Julien
The Cuvelier family acquired Château Moulin Riche and Château Léoville Poyferré in 1920. Classified a
Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 1932, Château Moulin Riche was known as the second wine of Château
Léoville Poyferré for many years during the restructuration of the vineyards, which began with the arrival
of Didier Cuvelier in 1979. Its first full château-status wine was launched with the 2009 vintage. The vines
of Château Moulin Riche grow in a specific area with its own particular terroir and character. This wine
benefits from the same careful attention and displays similar qualities as Château Léoville Poyferré balance, elegance and finesse. It matures earlier making this wine enjoyable when young.

CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE PO YFERRÉ
TABLE 8
Château Léoville Poyferré 2015, Saint-Julien 2ème Cru Classé
The Cuvelier family acquired Château Léoville Poyferré in 1920. The arrival of Didier Cuvelier in 1979
hailed a new era for the success of the domain and the restoration of Léoville Poyferré to its rightful
position amongst the great Médoc wines. Château Léoville Poyferré produces elegant, well balanced and
complex wines, offering intense colour and a velvety texture. These very fine wines develop beautifully over
time in bottle.

Alfred Tesseron & Mélanie Tesseron
Château Pontet-Canet 2015, Pauillac
Château Pontet-Canet dates back to the beginning of the 18th Century and was classified a Grand Cru
Classé in 1855. Since its creation, only three families have owned this illustrious property. Today, its
proud owners are Alfred Tesseron and his two nieces, Mélanie and Philippine. Alfred has been running
the estate for the past twenty years alongside his Régisseur, Jean-Michel Comme and from 2005, with
his niece Melanie Tesseron. They work the vineyard like a vegetable garden, respecting the natural rhythm
of the seasons while maximising the potential of its terroir without the use of pesticides. The vines have
benefited from this natural harmony, producing wines which display precision, purity and character. From
2010, the entire vineyard of Pontet-Canet has been certified organic and biodynamic.
