Location
The Montagne Saint-Emilion region enjoys a maritime climate with some Mediterranean influence, as shown by the presence of fig trees and holm oaks. Montagne Saint-Emilion is at the eastern end of the Bordeaux vineyard, which also brings some continental influence. The vineyard is the geographic continuation of Pomerol and Saint-Emilion. The soils are generally clay-limestone or silty-clay on the plateau and the slopes, with a little sandy clay to the west of the region.
Winemaking
De-stemming and crushing of the harvest. The alcoholic fermentation, which lasts about 8 days, is carried out at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts. Regular pumping over. Malolactic fermentation and maturation in stainless steel and concrete vats. The optimal harvest date and the controlled extraction of the tannins allow us to obtain a wine with good body and roundness.
