Chateâu Maillet Pomerol

Pomerol needs no introduction. This majestic wine region, located on the right bank of Bordeaux, holds some of the most formidable (and expensive) wines in the entire world, including Château Petrus, a wine that will easily sell for over $5k a bottle. Just half a mile (yes, that's a 10-minute walk) away from Petrus, you'll find Pomerol's hidden gem, Chateau Maillet,an out-of-this-world Château that shares terroir with one of the single most important estates in the universe.

Chateau Maillet dates back to 1820 when the Moze Berthon Family was established in the area. Georges Moze was the first member to get involved in the wine business. The family was already producing wine under the name Chateau Gouperie and back then, Maillet was the second wine label from the estate.
