As reported by the estate, the wine has also been served at official Élysée Palace dinners.

The Estate
Château des Annereaux sits on the western edge of Lalande-de-Pomerol, its vines separated from Pomerol by little more than a country lane. One family lineage has farmed this land since 1390, and the estate today is a single contiguous 22.7-hectare parcel — from 1969 to 2004 co-owned with a négociant partner, before full family ownership was restored in 2004.
Since 2010 the estate has been certified organic (Ecocert AB), and in October 2023 it became the first Bordeaux wine estate to earn B Corp certification. Hedgerows, beehives and bird boxes form part of its work across the vineyard.

BG wine structure estimate
Comparative profile within the Bacchus Global wine range.
Black cherry, ripe plum and cassis lead, opening into notes of wet earth, leather and crushed stone, then clove, cedar and a whisper of toasted tobacco from oak aging.
A supple, velvety attack carries plush, creamy fruit against a fine thread of fresh acidity; tannins are silky and well integrated, closing on a long, spice-tinged finish with a touch of dark chocolate.
Deep, dark red core with violet-tinged garnet reflections at the rim.

At the table
The wine's silky tannins, red-fruit core and savory, earthy undertone give it range across several culinary traditions.
Its structure favors dishes with gentle richness and umami depth rather than heavy spice, letting the fruit and fine tannin carry through the meal.
Japanese
- Teriyaki duck breast
- Sukiyaki
- Mushroom takikomi rice
Why it worksThe wine's savory, earthy note echoes mushroom and soy-based umami, while its fruit and soft tannin balance the sweetness of teriyaki glazes.
Thai
- Duck phanaeng (mild braise)
- Larb neua (herbed beef salad)
- Mild beef red curry
Why it worksFresh acidity and silky tannin stand up to Thai herbs and gentle spice without being overwhelmed, while the wine's fruit tempers chili heat.
Western
- Duck confit
- Veal cutlet with mushrooms
- Aged hard cheese
Why it worksClassic Bordeaux pairings: the wine's structure and savory depth sit naturally alongside richly rendered duck, earthy mushroom sauces and firm aged cheeses.
From cellar to bottle
Winemaking
Grapes are gathered by hand and moved by gravity into temperature-controlled concrete vats, where fermentation begins with the vineyard's own wild yeasts; extraction is kept gentle, and the wine matures for twelve months in French oak, twenty-five percent new.
Product detail
Across its range, the estate typically produces around 120,000 bottles a year and has farmed organically (Ecocert AB) since 2010.
Origin & Terroir
Gravel-sand soils over a Riss-era terrace drain quickly after rain while the surface stones store daytime heat, supporting steady ripening across the parcel.
