Thanks to a very rich clay-limestone soil, Château Balestard La Tonnelle produces highly structured wines, that are without doubt among the most powerful in the appellation. Very concerned with the wine's quality, the owners employ rigorous vinification methods. They produce a wine with a strong personality which develops a remarkable velvety texture.

This wine's character suggests an excellent capacity to improve with age. It also develops a delightful aromatic richness and a very seductive bouquet.
