Planted with
a density of 5500 / ha, vines have an average age of 30 years.
Grape varieties are adapted to soil and subsoil (clay and limestone)
: Merlot 70 %, Cabernet Sauvignon 30 %.
Vines growth is controlled in order to have a better harvest, with the risk of being smaller.
Treatments and enrichments are made with natural products, in order to protect our environment. It is worth noting that a sheep herd grazes in the vines at the start of winter.
Targeting a better quality, we go through various works such as de-budding, green harvests, selective picking and thermoregulation.
The wine-making of our parcels separately includes a cold pre
fermentation maceration of 4 to 5 days and a post fermentation
maceration of 15 to 20 days depending on the vintage and the grape
variety.
Ageing in French oak barrels, for most of the production, lasts
6 months on average.
Production : 100 tonneaux on average (120 000 bottles)
