The vineyards of the Chateau de Soucherie consist of five high-quality vineyards, a vineyard of more than 5 hectares, and 20 hectares of wooded land, all spanning over a total area of 40 hectares. The vineyard is planted with classic grape varieties such as cabernet franc and sauvignon, côt and grolleau, which are all grown using reasoned agriculture. The red wines are fermented in stainless steel copper tanks and the resulting aromas are perfectly balanced. The wines are aged in French oak barrels for 12 to 16 months.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
