Château Taillefer - Bordeaux Collection (France)
If you enter Pomerol along the west, it is the first serious domain that you encounter. It is one of the oldest properties in Pomerol and the building itself dates from the early 1800s. In 1923 it became the first domain of the famous Moeix dynasty that still holds it today. Unlike other Chateaus, Taillefer was closest to the commercial center of Libourne, making it easy to transport the wines by train to different locations and the markets that sold their wine at that time. The substrate also contains a relatively large amount of iron and also explains the name "Taillefer" which refers to this raw material.
