Presentation
Location
The Montagne Saint-Emilion region enjoys a maritime climate with some Mediterranean influence, as shown by the presence of fig trees and holm oaks. Montagne Saint-Emilion is at the eastern end of the Bordeaux vineyard, which also brings some continental influence. The vineyard is the geographic continuation of Pomerol and Saint-Emilion. The soils are generally clay-limestone or silty-clay on the plateau and the slopes, with a little sandy clay to the west of the region.
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.
