About the cuvée:

The Chateau produces only two wines: The great wine you have here and Sarget, produced with young vines or less interesting terroirs.

60% fermentation in cement vats and 40% in oak barrels. followed by aging for 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. We advise you to consult the 2007 vintage sheet available in the attached documents to learn more.

About the 2007 vintage:

It is a very complicated vintage due to the heavy rainfall but "honourable" according to the words of the Château. A little harsh at first, it should be close to its peak today.
