Clos Payrol is a Bordeaux wine from Pomerol appellation, near Petrus, L'Evangile, Le Constelliante and Vieux Chateau Certan. The soil composition on this gradually sloping plateau is clay and gravel, with the iron subsoil complementing that gives its unique character profile of violets, and is thought to be a factor in the long ageing potential of wines from this area.
Just 3 barrels are produced (900 bottles, about 75 cases) from the 0.36 ha plot of 100% Merlot planted to a density of 7,000 vines per hectare, 35–50 years old, and a yield of 35 HL/ha.
The winemaker, Mr. Philippe Baillarguet, is from Chateau Ausone and the owners of this vineyard are Pascal and Roger Lagutere.
