Presentation
We wanted to create a wine that reflects the spirit (Esprit in French) of Puisseguin vineyard. A wine that expresses the authenticity of the Saint-Emilion region and its terroir. With Esprit de Puisseguin, we highlight the tradition and expertise of passionate winegrowers that contribute to the appellation's renown.
Location
The Puisseguin Saint-Emilion appellation is reserved for still dry red wines. The vineyard is located to the north-east of Bordeaux, 10km from Saint-Emilion in the Libourne region. The rugged landscape consists of a mosaic of vineyard parcels planted on the slopes and the plateau. The vine has probably been cultivated in this region since Gallo-Roman times. The wines are full-bodied, delicious and with powerful tannins.
Winemaking
Destemming and crushing of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature with selected yeasts and maceration of the skins. This step takes about 2 to 3 weeks to obtain a supple, round wine. Malolactic fermentation, then ageing in stainless-steel and concrete tanks.
Varietals
Merlot : 70%
Cabernet franc : 20%
