and enjoys a temperate maritime climate. The richness, the quality and the diversity of
its wines derive from the particular character of the terroirs, the experience of the
winegrowers and the art of blending. The tide, which flows up both of the region's
rivers, brings very specific characteristics to the wines. With its huge size, Bordeaux reds
offer an infinite palette of flavours and combine their qualities in myriad different ways.

Destemming and crushing of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled
temperature using selected yeasts, with 2 to 3 weeks on skins to provide a round and
supple wine. Ageing in stainless-steel and concrete tanks.
