Planted with
a density of 5500 / ha, vines have an average age of 30 years.
Grape varieties are adapted to soil and subsoil (clay and limestone)
: Merlot 70 %, Cabernet Sauvignon 30 %.
Vines growth is controlled in order to have a better harvest, with the risk of being smaller.
Treatments and enrichments are made with natural products, in order to protect our environment. It is worth noting that a sheep herd grazes in the vines at the start of winter.
Targeting a better quality, we go through various works such as de-budding, green harvests, selective picking and thermoregulation.
The wine-making of our parcels separately includes a cold pre
fermentation maceration of 4 to 5 days and a post fermentation
maceration of 15 to 20 days depending on the vintage and the grape
variety.
Ageing in French oak barrels, for most of the production, lasts
12 months on average.
