Technique

Viticulture

The vineyard, located to the south of the commune of Pauillac, is 30 years old on average, planted at 9000 p/ha and produces an average of 45 hl/ha. The grapes are harvested by hand. The soil is composed of gravel from the Quaternary era known as Garonne gravel, and the subsoil contains very deep iron concretions (alios).

Oenology

The grapes are 100% destemmed and fermented in stainless steel vats. Maceration lasts 20 to 30 days (15 days of fermentation between 28 and 32 OC). Aged in barrels for 15 to 18 months in 80% new barrels and 20% one-year-old barrels.
