Location
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.
Winemaking
Destemming and crushing of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature using selected yeasts, with around 2 weeks on skins to provide a supple wine. Ageing in stainless-steel and concrete tanks.
Varietals
Merlot : 60%
