The wine region of Haut-Médoc
Structured Bordeaux AOC upstream of the Gironde north of Bordeaux: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as king red on the gravel mounds — deep-coloured and tannic with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a hint of spice, structured and age-worthy. Supple Merlot on clay soils adds roundness (plum, red fruits). Dense Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc complete it. Evolving bouquet (roast, truffle, prune, leather).
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: Dismantling
After devatting, the pomace is removed from the tank. If this operation is carried out manually, it is important to ventilate the vat well to avoid the risk of accidents due to the presence of carbon dioxide.
