Description
Grape: 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot
Winemaking
Grapes are harvested by hand and sorted carefully in the winery to ensure only the best fruit is used. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats with gentle extraction to preserve the finesse typical of Margaux wines. Each parcel is vinified separately before the final blend is assembled.
Ageing
The wine is aged for approximately 18 months in French oak barrels, with a significant proportion of new oak. This maturation adds complexity, subtle spice, and structure while allowing the fruit character and terroir expression to remain at the forefront.
