Aging

The wine ages in barrel for 35% and stainless steel vats for 65% during 12 months. The wine is racked every 3 months. The entire harvest is bottled by Vignobles BESSOU.

Terroir

Located in the commune of Puisseguin, north-east of Saint-Emilion, the vineyard covers 14.50 hectares and brings a choice of top quality plots of limestone-clay soils.

Vineyard

The final blend is mainly merlot 75%, cabernet-franc 20% and cabernet-sauvignon 5%. Grass is grown between the rows in 80% of the vineyard, to give more effective drainage, a better control of vigor and an improved quality of harvest. Leaf stripping and crop thinning are carried out each year according to need.

Vinification

The grapes are picked mechanically with a sorting of bunches before a total de-stemming. The vinification takes place in small capacity, thermo-regulated concrete vats, enabling perfect control of temperatures during the fermentation. The vatting period is 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the vintage.
