About the wine :
Color: deep garnet with a clear rim, with a blood-like viscosity. Strong aromas coming out of the glass of red berries, rippened plums,
figues, violet, subtile mineral notes of graphite. Very refined elegant integrated flavors of earth mineral, rippened dark plums, red beets,
cranberry, lingonberry, red and blue berries. Youthful, vivid, yet elegant acidity that is a testomy of a very long aging potential. A
fantastic price for the region.
Matthieu Celerier was born in Bordeaux, France, and raised on the left bank close to the famous estate of Chateau Haut-Brion (Pessac
Leognan). He spent his youth between the Graves and the Medoc, along with family members and friends who worked in famous Chateaux. He grew
up practicing diligently sports while always showing a great interest in fine cuisine. He started to learn how to pair wine with food as it
was a natural routine in his family. Former Judo teacher and international athlete with a master degree in finance, Matthieu dedicated his
first business venture to his first passion, the sport, as a post-rehab personal trainer. He was working in team with medical staff. On his
days off, he would sneak out of Paris in order to discover new wineries with friends and family. Matthieu enjoyed the similarities between
making wine and Judo as it takes for both decades of practices to achieve a pleasant result. And to go even further, we grasp the fact that
there's always room to grow! When his wife Maggie was talked into becoming an agent for the vintners they knew, Matthieu advised her to
start her own import and distribution instead. Few month after, motivated by family reason, they moved to the USA and teamed up to operate a
“soon to become” successful “petite boutique” selection.
