The grapes were carefully destemmed and fermented in thermo-regulated wooden tanks. Fermentation started at cool temperatures and lasted eight to ten days, during which the wine was oxygenated by daily pumping over and rack and returns. The temperature was increased during vinification, finishing at 28°C. 70% of the wine was matured in French oak barrels from different cooperages for a period of 12 months. Part of malolactic fermentation took place in the barrels.
It is a fine, elegant wine with plump red berry fruit and delicate hints of oak spice. It is smooth and supple on the palate, with fine tannins and a long, persistent finish.

| Winery | Chateau Preuillac is located in the heart of the Medoc. The vineyard covers 30 hectares on a single site. The soils vary, with 50% of the vineyard being clay, limestone and gravel soils, 25% gravel soils and 25% sandy gravel. The average age of the vines is 40 years. The vineyard is managed according to the principles of sustainable viticulture. The soils are cultivated to limit the use of herbicides, and sprayings are only used when necessary. Much of the work in the vineyard is done by hand, such as green harvesting and de-budding, to optimise the quality of the harvest. |
