Reviews

James Suckling 91

Impressive chocolate and blueberry character for the vintage. Medium body. Medium-chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. A blend of 76% merlot, 15% cabernet sauvignon and 9% cabernet franc.

Technical Details

Ageing

18 months of ageing, including 12 months in new barrels for 50% of the wine, for a slight presence of wood in the wine, but not a predominance.

Food pairing

A glass of Chateau Vieux Chaigneau is ideal with white meat in sauce (Coq au vin, turkey with cherries, veal with prunes) or cooked cheese (Comte, goudas).
Serve at a temperature of 16C.

Tasting notes

The palate is supple and fruity. It is a well balanced and structured wine with very silky tannins.

Terroir

Located in the municipality of Neac, the grapes come from a plot of about 6 hectares selected for the quality of its fruits. The vineyard has one of the best terroirs of the Lalande de Pomerol appellation, 1km from the famous Chateau Petrus. The vines are grown on sandy-silty and clay soils, without herbicide, the estate is certified Terra Vitis.

Vinification

Each tank is then worked (reassembly and/or offloading) according to its potential. The vinification is carried out in a traditional way in thermo-regulated cement vats. After the harvest, we macerate for 4 weeks.
