A Nano-Production Pomerol Rarer Than Le Pin
2019 Clos Saint-Andre Pomerol
In Pomerol, extreme scarcity usually costs $3,000 a bottle, but Jean-Claude Desmartis isn’t building a corporate cult brand—he’s a master craftsman meticulously farming his own 1.5-acre backyard. While famous neighbors like Le Pin use their microscopic production to justify astronomical price tags, Clos Saint-André is simply the result of one man who knows every single vine on his tiny, 0.6-hectare estate. To put that in perspective, his entire vineyard is smaller than the parking lot of most N…

The Value Gap: Pomerol is the most expensive appellation in Bordeaux. Finding a handmade, estate-bottled vintage wine here for under $100 is difficult; finding one with this level of provenance is nearly impossible.
0.6 Hectares of Scarcity: With fewer than 250 cases produced for the entire planet, this bottle is statistically harder to find than almost any First Growth

Tasting notes
Aroma
A warm, expansive nose of plum jam, cocoa powder, fresh truffle, and damp earth, with a floral lift of violet that comes from the Cabernet Franc in the blend
Palate
Pure silk. The palate is defined by the 2019 vintage's generosity—soft, round, and packed with sweet black fruit. There are no hard edges here, just a long, velvety finish of chocolate and spice.

In Detail
Cultivated on a tiny 0.6-hectare "garden" vineyard
In Pomerol, extreme scarcity usually costs $3,000 a bottle, but Jean-Claude Desmartis isn’t building a corporate cult brand—he’s a master craftsman meticulously farming his own 1.5-acre backyard.
While famous neighbors like Le Pin use their microscopic production to justify astronomical price tags, Clos Saint-André is simply the result of one man who knows every single vine on his tiny, 0.6-hectare estate.
To put that in perspective, his entire vineyard is smaller than the parking lot of most Napa wineries.
In the 2019 vintage—a year critics universally hailed as "hedonistic" and "extraordinary" for the Right Bank—that obsession with detail resulted in an absolute masterpiece. It delivers the plush, truffle-laced, velvety texture that makes Pomerol the most expensive dirt in Bordeaux, but because it flies entirely under the radar of the big publications, you get triple-digit luxury without the crushing price tag.
