Sheet

Technique

Viticulture

Gently sloping, superb, Pyrenean gravel with medium to small stones on a limestone subsoil with highly ferruginous water. However, there is nothing to explain the very specific bouquet (smoky and tarry) of this cru, which it shares with Haut-Brion despite the difference in origin of their gravel, except perhaps the nature of the skins on certain vines resulting from a slow local selection process.

Oenology

First sorting in the vineyard. Hand-picked grain by grain and sorted on a table. Gravity-fed into 30 to 70 hl wooden vats. Pre-fermentation maceration at a low temperature of 8°C. Manual punching of the cap. Maceration time: 30 to 40 days. Direct run-off into French oak barrels by gravity. Malolactic fermentation in barrels. Aged for 18 months in barrels.
