Château Pombrede - Bordeaux Rouge

Château Pombrède is located 7km from Sauveterre de Guyenne, in the commune of Saint-Brice. This 50-hectare estate has been handed down from father to son for 4 generations and now belongs to Rémy Garuz. The name of the estate comes from the locality known as ‘Pombrède’, which borders the vines and is a great place for a stroll.
The vines at this château are between 25 and 30 years old, but this passionate winemaker wants to keep the old vines planted by his grandfather between 1920 and 1927, which gives the property a fine balance. A special feature of this property is the tulips that appear every spring on one of the vineyard plots.

Bordeaux is the largest vineyard for appellation wines in the whole of France. Situated in the South West near the Atlantic, it is crossed by the rivers Garonne and Dordogne 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 with selected yeasts and maceration of the skins. To obtain a wine for ageing, rich in tannins, this takes 3 to 4 weeks. Ageing in barrel for at least 6 months, so that the wine develops its bouquet and its aromas.
