This great Graves wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation is produced from a 36-hectare vineyard.

It is a wine for laying down, needing two to five years, depending on the vintage, for the tannic structure to become harmonious and for the aromas to develop. Nice semi-buried cellar, typical of the 19th century.

Before becoming the property of Baron Raoul de Pichon-Longueville in 1864, the estate passed through the hands of various families. Stéphane de Luze is one of the descendants of the man who so marvellously knew how to enrich the traditional know-how of armagnac. The selection is for the Bas-Armagnac Blanche de Briat, 100% folle blanche, fully expressing the aromatic finesse of the grape variety as well as its perfect olfactory and gustatory balance.
