La Commanderie 2015, Pomerol

The name gives away the origin. Across Bordeaux and wider France, estates called "Commanderie" typically trace back to land once held by medieval military orders, the Knights Templar or the Hospitallers. These properties passed through centuries of ecclesiastical, then aristocratic, then private ownership before becoming the vineyards we know today. La Commanderie in Pomerol carries that lineage quietly, without drawing attention to it.
