Product features : Chateau Vieux Maillet 2016 — Pomerol
In the mouth
Full-bodied and opulent, with ripe dark fruit flavours supported by silky, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and aromatic, with excellent persistence.
On the nose
Concentrated aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, interwoven with vanilla and coffee notes from careful barrel maturation. The bouquet develops with time in glass.
On the eye
Deep, intense garnet robe, characteristic of the finest Pomerol wines and promising considerable depth.
Breeding
12 to 18 months in oak barrels, a meticulous choice to respect fruit expression whilst adding aromatic complexity.
This wine pairs admirably with grilled red meats, braised dishes, and soft-paste cheeses. It also complements lighter fare such as veal, rabbit, and duck with considerable grace. The structure and balance make it equally suited to leisurely contemplation or the dining table.

CHATEAU VIEUX MAILLET
Positioned on the eastern rim of the Pomerol plateau, Château Vieux Maillet covers 8 hectares of Merlot and Cabernet Franc planted on sands, gravels, clays and the iron-rich subsoil known locally as crasses de fer — a terroir that defines the finest wines of this celebrated right-bank appellation. Acquired in 2004, the château entered a new chapter in September 2022 when Frédéric Stévenin took ownership and immediately committed the estate to organic conversion, with full certification expected from the 2026 vintage. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the clarity of its winemaking vision, the authenticity of its Pomerol terroir, and the rigour with which its organic transition is being pursued. A château to watch closely.
