Château l'Enclos - Bordeaux Rouge Supérieur

Situated in Mauriac, between the Dordogne and the Garonne, Château de l'Enclos has been in the Farges family for 8 generations. Since 1995, brothers Bernard and Christian have been running the estate, applying innovative agricultural practices which are respectful of the environment. After several expansions, the vineyard surface today is around 92 hectares.

This region consists of limestone plateaux at around 100m above sea level, hence its name "Bordeaux's high country". Wines of the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation are produced the vineyard zone of the Gironde. The wines must conform to rigorous quality criteria and are made from grapes from selected vineyard parcels and older vines. The red Bordeaux Supérieur is characterised by great aromatic complexity combining ripe fruits, floral aromas, spice and often a hint of oak.

Cold soaking before fermentation (4 to 15°C for several days) for the ripest grapes, to obtain more intense fruity notes. Thermovinification of part of the harvest to obtain a must rich in colour and fruity aromas. Alcoholic fermentation (controlled temperature, selected yeasts) with 2 to 3 weeks on skins to provide a round and supple wine. Ageing in stainless-steel and concrete tanks.
