La Belle Connivence 2019

The vivacity and structure of a Pomerol red wine

The property

The story of the Château La Connivence is above all a story of friendship with three wine-loving friends who decide to create a very good wine. The superb Pomerol appellation then becomes the cradle of this connivance that unites the three owners: Johan Micoud, former international footballer, Matthieu Chalmé, former player for the Girondins de Bordeaux, and Alexandre de Malet Roquefort, owner of the Château La Gaffelière in Saint-Émilion. 

The vineyard

A garden vineyard, Château La Connivence is a real little gem: 1.40 hectares located on a very large terroir of Pomerol, emblematic land of merlot, the flagship grape variety that covers 65% of the estate's land. The château has also chosen to plant cabernet franc, which represents 35% of the vineyard. On this gravel terroir combining fat gravels, fine gravels, and clayey sand soils, the 3 friends immediately sense that the perfect conditions are in place to be able to produce a very great Pomerol red wine. In order to preserve this precious terroir, the vines are exclusively worked by hand and managed in a reasoned agriculture.
