Technique

Viticulture

The history of the estate began 250 years ago, when it was founded by Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan. The 75 hectares of vineyards surround the Château, close to the Gironde and alongside the vines of Château Latour. Their soil is made up of gravel on clay known as Garonne gravel, particularly that of the Günzian nappe, and benefits from excellent drainage.

Oenology

The grapes are rigorously sorted in the vineyards and on arrival at the vat-house. After de-stemming and crushing, the grapes are transferred to the 33 temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The vatting period varies from 18 to 24 days depending on the vintage. The vats are frequently pumped over and blended at the end of December or beginning of January. The wine is then placed in oak barrels for 18 months (50% new, 50% one-year-old). The wine is racked every 3 months until bottling.
