- It is an elegant, black-fruited wine with discreet notes of spicy vanilla oak and wild sage. It is opulent and textured, with fine, smooth tannins and blackberry flavours that linger on the persistent finish. Traditional Bordeaux vinification, with pre-fermentation maceration taking place at low temperatures, extracts the vibrant fruit flavours. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures. Twenty percent of the wine was aged in barrels for six months; the remainder was aged in vats to retain the purity of fruit, elegance, and freshness.

Winery | The Chateau is located in Cars, in the appellation of Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux. The vineyard comprises south-facing plots on a plateau with clay-limestone soils and a terroir known locally as 'groups', which is formed of small, white pebbles. The vineyard is cultivated according to traditional and sustainable viticulture practices, emphasising respect for the soil, the environment, and the vine. The vines are trained according to the double Guyot system and are carefully pruned to ensure a maximum yield of 45 hectolitres per hectare. The soil under the vines is scattered with oats or barley to produce green manure; insecticides are not used. The vineyard is in conversion to organic. |
