Technique

Viticulture

Jean-Baptiste Braneyre, the estate's first owner in 1680, had already recognised the potential of the superb gravel terroirs located just a stone's throw from the Gironde estuary. Terroir of deep quaternary gravel over clay. The vineyard is 35 years old on average and has a density of 6,700 to 10,000 vines/ha. Soil maintenance by traditional ploughing or grassing. Trellising and training adapted to each density and soil type.

Oenology

Hand-picking throughout the vineyard. Use of temperature-controlled stainless steel vats of different sizes to suit each plot. Filling by gravity. Maceration for 3 weeks. Blending carried out at the start of ageing. Aged in barrels for 16 to 20 months, with around 50% new wood. Fining in barrel with egg white.
