The Chateau produces only two wines: the grand vin that you have here and Sarget, produced with young vines or slightly less interesting terroirs.

Fermentation 60% in cement tanks and 40% in oak tuns. followed by a long aging of 16 months in 50% barrels. This vintage required all the know-how of the Château and a lot of technique to produce a quality wine.

This is a very complicated vintage due to the heavy rainfall but "honorable" according to the Château. A little hard as a primeur, it should be close to its peak today.
