The vineyard, located at the foot of hillsides and on hillsides over an area of approximately 25 hectares, benefits from different type of soils (sandy clay, gravelly, clayey gravel soils) and a good sun exposure leading to a good maturation of the grapes. GRAPE VARIETIES Merlot 80% Cabernet Sauvignon 20% WINEMAKING The wine is made with a traditional vinification, starting with a prefermentation cold maceration during 2 to 3 days and then followed by the alcoholic fermentation combined with a warm maceration during 2 to 3 weeks at controlled temperatures, in order to extract the optimum level of flavors, color and tannins. The wine is then aged in tank until the bottling which takes place in the castle.
