The wine region of Listrac-Médoc
Communal AOC of the Médoc (peninsula, Quaternary gravel ridges): Cabernet Sauvignon (power, structure) with Merlot (fruit, roundness), Petit Verdot (spices, colour) and Cabernet Franc (finesse) — structured profile of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), spicy and oaky notes, structured tannins and long ageing. Pyrenean-Massif Central erosion gravels on Landes sands, draining limestone and clays.
The wine region of Bordeaux
World-renowned age-worthy reds, led by round Merlot (plum, black fruit) or firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, graphite), blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for tannic structure. Structured Médoc and Graves, velvety Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Also crisp dry whites (Sauvignon/Sémillon) and opulent sweet Sauternes with honey and candied fruit. A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
