This small hillside estate is situated in Merignas, just across the Dordogne river from the Saint Emilion appellation boundary. While the soil and climate here are essentially the same as Merignas' famous neighbor to the North. Family run estate.
Organically grown grapes from estate vineyards owned by Christophe Pont.
'Plaisir' means “pleasure” in English.
Grapes are hand picked in small boxes for delivery to the winery. Grapes are fermented with native yeast in stainless steel tanks and left on the skins for two weeks the topped up and conserved. Unoaked, aged in stainless steel for the winter and spring then bottled before next harvest.
